Have some small scratches and swirls on the plastic lens for my instrument guage panel.  Does anybody know how to get rid of these small scratches?

Thanks!

Thanks bro,

Where can i buy the 3M plastic cleaner and polish?

Skip the sandpaper. You'll only cause more harm than good. Just use plastic polish. If not accessible to plastic polish, yun cleaner wax lang pwede na. Mas fine lang talaga yun plastic polish para mas maliit yun swirls.

Several brands have plastic polish. 3M, Mother's and Meguiar's. I personally use Mother's, ok naman siya, di pa amoy chemical. That's what I like about it. As for use, madali siya i-apply saka buff off.

Been looking all over for plastic polish, can't find any at true value and handyman.  Where can I buy get this?

Thanks again

Try Team R Specs, they're the distributor of Mother's products. You can also buy in our online store if you don't have the time to go to Banawe.

They currently have a booth at BTW at Rockwell, don't know if you could read this before the show ends though. Coz the show ends tonight.

Eagle One Plastic Polish, dami sa True Value/Ace...

Note though, that most plastic polishes are not abrasive enough to remove scratches from lexan acrylic lenses.

I tried True Value at Park Square, but couldn't find any plastic polish (any brand).  Will try another branch.

nevermind all that Bsh!t, simple lang, buffing or rubbing, if ur da real car owner u u'll understand me. buffing n rubbing sr not just for metals or paints, it can give a big diff on ur windows/glass/mirrors. if ur near in valenzuela i'll personally assist ur problem coz we have an autodetailing shop dto. if u want you can txt thru 09169127772

You do realize that lexan plastic is not polishable, right?
