Exist very careful using chemicals on this, some plastics react poorly to even unproblematic cleaning chemicals. Don't even try Windex until you know for certain. Here is a link that tells how to clean and restore a Plexiglass window on a Corvette. You lot basically sand it. tinyurl.com/bl4d6 Some other identify to cheque would exist aircraft supply houses, many planes take expensive plexiglass and they utilise different things to go along them clear.

I have an NC Plexifairing that was pretty well scratched up when a dimwitted relative decided the bugs would come up off better with 1 of those plastic scouring pads used to clean teflon coated pots and pans. Fortunately, they are very fine scratches. They wait horrible and brand the view cloudy when untreated, simply a good coating of Pledge actually clears it up pretty well. When the Pledge wears off afterward a few weeks, the cloudiness returns. If the windshield is cloudy because it was left out in the sun (UV damage), there'due south nothing you can exercise virtually it.

Once or twice a yr, I polish the fine scratches out of the Lexan with either Harley Glaze (hey, I go it for complimentary..) or Blue Magic Plexiglass Cleaner. 3M Glazing Compound, aforementioned-same. Glazing compounds and plexiglass cleaners are pretty much the same affair - ultra fine polishing compounds - very fine annoying grit, a titch of coloring and water. Likewise known as "swirl removers". Some of the glitzy brands like "Colour Back" sold at places like Machine Zone also add perfumes, and that's a potential trouble spot. Might do well to open the bottle (if possible) and take a sniff. And so, I utilise Lemon Pledge too. Skilful stuff.

Even if this production doesn't clear up your scratches (only I bet it volition) yous gotta give Plexus a try. It was originally formulated for fighter cockpit windows simply works EXTREMELY well on windscreens and face shields. I've had the same face shield for 4 years at present and I'one thousand not even close to thinking well-nigh buying a new one. Yous can usually find this at meliorate wheel shops or at Dennis Kirk, etc. Jim Attachments:
