Plastic window scratch remover?

Not the very light scratches thet a normal cleaner might remove, but something a little deeper. What's the best way to remove them?
Thanks
Simon

Re: Plastic window scratch remover?

In the past I`ve used some 1000 wet and dry followed by a cutting agent on a small buffing wheel. Finish with some fine polish again on the wheel. Jobs a good one.

NOVUS is great stuff, it really works. Good shelf life, too.

Re: Plastic window scratch remover?

Simon, try a plastics supplier near you or go on line for other sources of the Novus products. You probably need the number 2 for the scratches you described.

Re: Plastic window scratch remover?

Simon,

I found a UK supplier of Novus here;

The Pinball Heaven Online Shop

I use it for polising plastic models instead of painting and would recommend you go for the kit of 1,2 & 3.

3 takes out heavy scratches, 2 is intermediate and 1 is a very fine polish to produce crystal clarity.

Ths site has a starter kit for 2oz of all three for £4.95 or larger 8oz bottles at £16.95 for all 3.

Cheers - Tony
