Polishing out scratches on plastic???

[Ksevn-T]

hey guys,

Quick queston. can't seem to find any results in the search option.
Have got a few scratches I'm wanting to get rid of on the clear plastic lense of my dash. Is there any products out there that will do the job???

Thanks,

Alex

I was told a while back to use either toothpaste or paint cutting compound

Plast-X is the best product available for this imo :)

[rthy]

who sells that one?

[70XIN]

Supercheap/Repco/Autobarn

Can't remember exactly which one, but i put my money on repco :unsure:

[rthy]

ah excellent, more usefull info, I am sure i will need it in due time

[Ksevn-T]

Thanks for the quick feedback. Have to hit up repco by the sounds of things.

i use 2000 wet and dry and then some turtlewax scratch and swirl remover

[Ksevn-T]

you would have to sand the whole plastic pannel then, right?

[70XIN]

Yeah, 1000 grit to 2000 grit for sanding out any yucky scratches

Then (if you have a buffer this will be very quick) use a foam/wool pad and buff with METAL polish, then use some of the Plast-X stuff

Comes out a treat :) Same thing can also be done to taillights for equally awesome effect
