Scratched Acrylic

[CreativeCreationGraphics]

So I have some extruded acrylic with some light scratches. Is there any way to get these out?

We've used this and depending on the depth of the scratches, it might what you need.

I tried using this but do you have a specific technique cuz it's not working..

Just follow the directions. The scratches may be too deep.

Anything else I can try?

That brand also has a #3 for heavy scratches. We also use Mother's Plastic Polish or Zymol Cleaner Wax.

I've experimented with those wipes for rejuvenating the lenses on headlights and it works ok.

Torch. Very small and very cool. Back in the day that's the way airplane canopies were polished. The technique is still widely used to polish cut edges of this sort of material.

Given the cost of extruded acrylic I Wouldn’t bother. Cost you more in labour to get it in a saleable state than to buy a new piece...
