Perspex side windows

[Mr Pid]

Help - anyone know a good way of polishing out small scratches from side windows. Not real scratches, just very fine surface marks. Can I use rubbing compound, Tcut or similar or am i just gonna make things worse. Is there any proper product for doing this ? Any advice gladly recieved !

Can probably get it from Halfords too. 3M also do a similar product, never seen it over here though

Hi,

Had the same problems on the perspex headlight covers on my Marcos project, have a look at www.marcosmantula.com.

In the end I used some 800 wet & dry to remove the deep scratches, then some 1200 which left the perspex with a smooth but dull finish, then applied some rubbing compound and finally Autosol metal polish as recommended on the Marcos forum, they look like new now !!


Regards,


Martyn........

The use of finer abrasives finishing with metal polish or jewellers rouge may seem the way to go but I would talk to the Factory first as I believe the windows have a film or coating on them which may prevent you from doing this.

I would use brasso spot on on all perspex.

I think Steve has something here. I recall using the wrong masking tape when PU'ing the side windows in. When I removed the tape it took the coating off.

There is a coating on my side windows that came off with some masking tape. It has become very cloudy now and will need to be removed.

Anyone completely reomved the coating?
