Like a tt I put a wee scratch in a motorcycle windscreen. No problems thought I, it'll polish out. And so it did...but in doing so it looks like the screen has a coating of some sort on it, and so there's an 'edge' around the area I polished. So I guess the whole screen needs polished to take the coating off to make it the same. I guess I could do it by hand but it would take weeks! Anyone know of a business in Fife/Edinburgh that can professionally cut-back/polish a perspex screen?

Could try doing it yourself? I'm sure Meguiars headlight restorer would do the trick. Wouldn't take long

It took about 2 hours to do maybe 10 square inches with G3, then Meguiars 3, then 2, then 1...and that was with an electric polishing mop. There has to be 5 square feet of screen there, so the maths suggest 72 hours by hand.
