Thin plexiglass with a few minor scratchesWhat is it exactly? If the scratches aren't too deep I'd try something like Novus 2 or 3 on it.
Well I'd say give it a shot, but generally any scratch that catches your fingernail isn't really gonna be able to be removed easily. Also depending on the plexiglass you could just have scratches to an anti-reflective coating so buffing it with an abrasive like Novus would just take that off.Thin plexiglass with a few minor scratches
It's not that deep. They have a little kit for twenty bucks on Amazon. Yes I will use the novus and sand and buff. Just learned a lot from you guysPaying someone to polish plexiglass would be like paying someone to clean your dishes. You should do this yourself.
Like others said, for light scratching or swirl marks, use novus or rubbing compound with a drill with a polishing pad.
For deep scratches (if you can catch your fingernail on it) then you will need to use high grit sanding pads. And then finish with novus or rubbing compound.
I would just buy a new one if it's just a piece of clear thin plexi before spending $20 on the kit.They have a little kit for twenty bucks on Amazon.
Even better when you have a local one. Most Plexi you can buy at the big box stores are very thin and will bow out after time if used for a large piece like a monitor cover. I use 3/16 for most of mine; Tap has everything and cuts while you wait.
They have good prices and fast shipping.
