Yeah, I did the 'net search as well, but got conflicting information
all over the place. The Lexan manufacturer says there is no way to
polish the scratches out but of course that is how they get to sell
more Lexan. This stuff is REALLY fragile in the scratch
department. It withstands smacks pretty well but dang, when using
it as a windshield, looks like it will have to be replaced
annually! This stuff is very expensive.<br>
I was hoping someone here had some hands-on experience with it.
Thanks.<br>

Like the toothpaste trick with CDs. We used to use a buffing
wheel on a bench grinder to polish plexiglass projects in high
school shop class. Not sure what polishing solution would work
best with Lexan. Here's two hits:

<div>I think that would depend on how deep the scratches
are, but you could try flame-polishing them out.<br>
