Restoring/Polishing windows in Die Cast model cars
Discussion
Use the finest grade of emery paper you can find (finer than 1000 if you can) and give your window moulding a good going over, using soapy water to lubricate it. It will now be perfectly smooth but matt. Now take a duster and one drop of T-Cut or whatever rubbing compound you have to hand, and after a few minutes it will be as good as new. If you haven't got T-Cut, the old modeller's trick of using toothpaste on the end of a finger will work just as well.
I have to declare a slight interest in the link, but;
