Also at your auto or motorycle parts or dealer store is stuff from
Mequiar's, used to clean and polish scratches and the like from plexiglass
motorcycle windscreesns. I used to ride a large touring bike in the
Southern California deserts. Each night, we would polish our windscreens to
a glossy, better-than-new finish. In the morning, staring into the rising
sun, there would be NO distracting scratches or pings on the windscreen.
Magic. I cannot remember the name of the stuff, but there were two types: a
sorta milky-white cleaner and a sorta-dirty-looking, tan-colored polisher.
The polisher was the really good scratch remover. OH.. and the stuff is
kinda foul-smelling, too. Once, I used the stuff to polish the edges of a
small piece of plastic, completely getting rid of the saw marks and making
the edges as transparent as the main surface. Magic stuff, it was.
