Scratchy Cloudy Plexiglass
Howdy, Are there any Plexiglass experts in here ?
You can see the rear window in the 56 that it is
really scratchy and cloudy, I'm sure its the original .
Is there any kind of paste or polish I should try first ?
Going to make a winter project out of this window...
All thoughts and suggestions welcome...
Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, You might look at some 3M products. They have a headlight restore kit that really does a great job cleaning up fogged headlights. Since the headlight lens is of similar material (I think), it should do the job. They have many products and so you might see if you can talk with a service representative to get additional advice. Good luck

vogie is absolutely correct. Its called a micromesh kit. Contains rubber block, an anti static paste, and various grits of sandpaper between about 1200 grit up to about 4000 grit. I have never used the rotary one. I have always used the manual kit sanding at 90 degree angles to the previous grit. It will look like regular glass with no scratches when your done.

yes Enterprise = Fort Rucker. I'm retired now but my wife is still in. We were assigned to Ft Campbell. Getting out of so many rotations for a couple of years. Time for a quick break.
The micromesh kit may say to do it dry but keep water running over the pad for safer results.
