Scratches on plastic windshield; fix?

Ahoy Mr. Buzzrd,

Most light scratches can be polished out using a mico-mesh polishing kit and plastic polish. It takes a little elbow grease, but the results are excellent. I recommend you get yourself a micro-mesh kit and Novus plastic polish from www.micromark.com I've also found that once polished, a windshield, dunked in Future and left to dry, looks almost like glass.

Thanks much, Tom. I'll pick it up!

if it is a deep scratch, i suggest sanding it with very fine sand paper, then polishing it with plastic polish. If it is only a small surface scratch, you could probably skip right to the polishing(all you need is the polish and a soft clean rag)

If it is just a very light scratch try to coat the windshield with Future. I am able to solve 85% if the scratches I get on clear plastic with Future and without polishing.

I heard that using a light coat of toothpaste works well too! Use plenty of water though.

Anyone else heard of this an tried it?

Sounds like an inexpensive way out.

Put creamy punut buttter on the windsheild and wipe off with a paper coffee filter. Works great to get the scratches out of CD's too. Good luck:)
