Most of the UV blockers are not safe on most plastics. That's a generalization. YMMV. We had UV blockers made from Sunbrella. 😀 Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 12 May 2017 at 10:29, Danny Haughey via CnC-List wrote: > What do you do to protect thenewly polished surface f

Nope, it is a surface treatment only. Deep crazing won't be affected. Novus #2 is specifically designed for acrylics and polycarbonates and costs much less than the proprietary "headlight polishes". I use it regularly to remove surface scratching and hazing from portlights and Lexan dodger windows

Bruce You are doing it correctly. I have worked with “Plexiglass” since the early 70’s. However you only want to use the least grit paper to get the scratches out, so as to remove the minimum amount of material. I usually start with 1000 or 800 grit to determine if the scratches will come out.

Just be aware that any scratch Resistance and UV protective coatings will be removed. Maybe try just the plastic headlight polish by itself first. That may be enough for a decent improvement. I would also caution against using any compound that is not specifically for plastic. Automotive compou
