Bubble window - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

SSLX76 · 21-08-2008, 07:44 PM

Hi, have some scratches on a Bubble window to go in my panelvan, can anyone suggest a way to remove scratches from years of being washed, was told Brasso works, tried this and seems to get rid of really light scratches but not a couple of slightly deeper ones, thanks.

Normally on plastics you can take scratchs out if you do it right

start with 1200 wet and dry ( bit of detergent in the water ), take the scratch back to its base, then move on to 2000 w&d, then go to a buff compound and a buff machine 1800 to 2200 rpm, then go to a finer compond, then finish off with auto polish.

You do have to be carefull and dont bite off more than you can chew!,. if you want to do this than try it on a very small part first, just in case.

But it will never be like new, in certain lights you will always see some swirl marks from the polishing. EDIT, maybe skip the 1200 and go straight to 2000 grit W&D.
