Atlantic window refurb

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi good people, 
I'm looking to take some of the accumulation of scratches out of my windows (plexiglass double glazed type). 
I can't find anything on the forum about doing this, but would a polishing mop and some farecla G10 (fine polish) do the trick?
If that's too aggressive any suggestions would be much appreciated. 
Thanks
Paul.

	I used tcut and Brasso. We used to use Brasso years ago to polish scratches out of perspex... same principle.

	Looks like a good method! Did u just do it by hand out of the cotton wool soaked brasso or the liquid brasso and use cloths?

	Thanks Tee3. I'll try and get some Brasso, mind you I can't remember the last time I saw a can of that in the hardware shop! They probably still make though. Thanks again Paul

	I used autoglym paint restorer on mine. Pretty much the same t-cut but a bit gentler I think. Brasso sounds good though as I have also used on other plastics. I also use autoglym car wax on mine afterwards too to polish up and leave a protective coat on them.

	I used the liquid stuff with a polishing cloth.

	I have been using a silicon spray to help keep the windows clean and help make the water run off. It works quite well though it doesn't take out scratches. Cheers Paul
