Title: Removing scratches from vinyl glass
Post by: Eric on February 09, 2011, 07:58:06 am
Any one have luck getting scratches out of glass? I know on strata they have a protective coating, so you can't really polish deep scratches out, but how about on rolled vinyl, anyone have any luck. What did you use if you did.
Thanks
Eric

Renovo plastic polish - made in the UK.  Expensive but very good.  Use with a cotton flannel rag.

Check out eastwood.com . It's an auto tool and restoration supply co. and they make a kit to polish out the rear curtains on convertibles that does a fair job.

i've not tried the renovo June i may have to get some.

When i was a teacher we made plastic toys etc out of solid acrylic
the kids would polish it up after cutting and sanding it.

We used Brasso which is a general purpose brass and metal polish
which would bring the surface of the plastic back to a mirror shine.
I don't know if you guys have it but it is more like a liquid than a paste,
we also used stainless steel polish and a buffing machine but that would
be too harsh for PVC.

I'll try the brasso on PVC if i get time.

I use 210 Plus.

They have a cleaner which works very well.

They also have a scratch remover that works well as long as the scratch isn't too deep. You'll need a soft cotton rag and plenty of elbow grease  ;D
