Plexiglas is a branded term for a type of transparent acrylic plastic often used as a lightweight alternative to glass. Known for its clarity, durability, and versatility, Plexiglas is often seen on boat windshields and convertible top windows.
The problem with Plexiglas? Despite its durability, it scratches pretty easily. It’s also susceptible to oxidation from the sun, which clouds the clear appearance. On top of that, any water spots or bird droppings that appear can be hard to remove.
So how do you remove scratches from Plexiglas? It’s actually not much different than removing scratches from paint - it’s all a matter of polishing. In this article, we’ll take a look at four different methods for polishing plexiglas, ranging in difficulty and aggressiveness: hand polishing, DA machine polishing, rotary machine polishing, and machine dry sanding.

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. Would this method and product work on clear polycarbonate?

I really appreciate this content. It won’t get the views or “likes” of videos on the newest last step product etc. b/c so few of us will will attempt this type of correction but this is exactly the type of thing that I need to learn as I tend to detail more classic cars than most detailers. Keep them coming!

Thanks Tom. I get asked to work on a lot of interesting projects like saving the back window on this removable Corvette hardtop. Even though Plexiglas is easy to work with, besides the sanding aspect, the most important other factor is using great abrasive technology. Any abrasive technology that works without micro-marring soft paint will tend to work on Plexiglass. I've had nothing but great luck using Dr. Beasley's NSP Primers on both soft paint and soft Plexiglas. -Mike Phillips

We sell some Flex polishers and Lake Country pads on our store but we do not carry sanding disks as of yet. We may start carrying them soon, though!
