scratch remover?

Post by barsocial »

just a quickie,

i have tinted perspex windows (the 2 skin type) on my van but over time they have accumulated alot of sctratches. Has anyone used any products like a acrylic scratch remover to try and get rid of them? Do they work? Been looking and can't find any comments on it

it's a 1.6td '89 t25 called jelly who is britsh again as of today..

I got some scratch remover from a caravan shop a few years back. It worked ok on the lighter scratches but not the deeper ones. Can't remember the name of it but I'll see if I can dig it out tomorrow and let you know what make it was.

Brasso works well.
We used to have stuff called Greygates Canopy Polish for aircraft canopies.

Fenwicks it was and it's great stuff. Granted it did not take away the deep scratches but it removed the haze in the window and light scratches. All in all worth the fiver and half hour to do it. highly recommend! :ok
