Hey kids.  I am sure I have read a thread somewhere on this forum about a good plastic dash lens polish but buggered if I can find it.  So can anyone recommend a good polish to get the fine scratches out of a perspex lens on my cluster?

 

Fanks.

Usually use a metal polish on plastic light lenses, Brasso or something more aggressive if the scratches are deeper

I use auto paint polish on plastic parts. Cutting compound if scratches need further work.

There are polishes for plastic headlight lenses, l'd be trying one of those.

A friend who is an airframe fitter says they use Brasso and cotton wool on light plane and chopper canopy perspex screens.

Meguiars Plastix might be what your thinking of

Good stuff, hard to find in some shops though.

Can source it online for $22 so reasonably priced :-).  Appreciate the tip.

Ill bet it is their auto paint polish with a different lable.

dont think so..tho at the end of the day any mild polish will get fine scratches out of plastic ive been using it on my seat hinge covers worked well

Agreed, fine cutting compound & car polish works well too !
