Can scratches in the clear top be repaired?
I just got a clear top that was pretty scratched up. Mostly small scratches, but a few which are deeper. Does anyone know a way of repairing scratches on the clear top? I'd live to touch up what I can.

Probably not. You can polish out the scratches, but cannot redo the special coating on the top and bottom surfaces of the top that prevent the acrylic top material from yellowing.

the glass top is actually a version of Lexan and quite easy to scratch and yet hard to repair. I used Plexus on my C5 roof since new and it looked the same when sold. You could likely make the scratches less noticable using our Diamonite Kit but removing them permantely is not likely if they can be felt with finger nail.

That's my main concern. I'm sure I can make the scratches in the lexan less noticeable, but the coating on top eppears to be an issue. I'm not sure if it's going to be possible to polish out the coating, or if that will just make the blemish in the coating more noticeable. Long term, I'm not worried about the material yellowing, just don't like the white lines across the surface.
