How do u clean it without scratching it? I just finished my false floor and cleaned it up nice to take pics but then I scratched my plexi and got too pissed to finish...any way I can remove the little scratches? they are like swirls in paint nothing major just a damn eye-sore!

get meguires plastic cleaner and polish. i know napa has it for 7 or 8 dollars each. my friend used it on his headlights, and it worked very good. not too sure about plexi, but it might help. just tyr it in a small corner first to see if it scratches more. hope i helped a little.

Thanks a lot, It was the rag that scratched it in the first place so I was thinking....maybe somthing like an LCD screen cloth would work a lot better?

dont want to hi-jack the thread, but does anyone know how to etch plexiglass?

"does anyone know how to etch plexiglass?"

very carefully, lol. i have etched a few pieces with a wooden template laid over the glass and a dremel. they turned out....OK.

i belive the proper way is to sandblast it, or use some chemical, much like you would with regular glass. i cant really give you any advice, though, as ive never tried those methods.

im looking into the chemical way- i went to a crafts store and bought some goop that etches glass, figured i'ld give it a shot, but didnt work on the plexi...

Any answers pertaining to my question lol?

Shock,
Meguiars sells stuff for plastics to help clear it up and remove small scratches. I've never been able to find the stuff locally. Always had to order it from Meguiars directly. Heres the webpage.

Your looking for part numbers M-1708 and M-1008. Its a two step process.

I've used this stuff on a couple of my arcylic aquariums to help remove some slight scratches on the outside and it works pretty well.

for the meguires plastic polish and cleaner try napa if you have them. thats where i found mine at. for about 7 bucks each.
