Wind screen scratch repair?

[TreeManMaine]

Hello everyone!

Looking for some suggestions for repairing scratches on the plexiglass wind screen. These scratches are more surface and can not be felt with a fingernail.

Thanks, Lane

For a light scratch as you discribe, Novus #3 followed by Novus #2 then Novus #1 as the final (and everyday) cleaner.

For a deeper scratch you can LIGHTLY wet sand with ~1000 grit paper, then above.

These are all abrasive approaches, working their way finer and finer, though still removing material at every step. Another approach is wet sand 2000 then bring to clarity with 3M Finesse (from the paint finishing world) and yellow wool buffer. That last step doesn't remove material - Finesse buffing re-flows the plastic on the surface at the molecular level without further material removal. Really neat stuff!
