[General] lexan scratches

[Justin Richards]

I would be careful and trust the manufacturer on this one. If the
manufacturer says "this cannot be polished" or "you cannot remove scratches
from this" it likely means "Don't try to polish or remove scratches from
this if you care about it being able to protect life or property"

Vapor, flame, or abrasive polishing can possibly degrade the material to a
point where it will no longer stand up to projectiles (whether they be
rocks, bullets, birds, etc), or cause the material to become brittle or
less UV resistant (which is important for windshields, being outdoors and
all).
