Removing scratches from perspex & plastic.

(1/2) > >>

zeds4ever:
 ;) Had a problem with a piece of perspex on one of my instrument panels that was fairly severely scratched. I tried several recommended ways, but found the best & easiest solution was to use a product called "Gumption".
I applied this liberally to the affected part & then polished it into the  area in a circular motion with a damp soft cloth I then wiped this clean & repeated this operation a few times until the offending mark was removed.
It works a treat.

                                          Regards; Alan.  :D

I've used a cutting compound too.
Worked well.

I've heard that modelling guys use toothpaste??? as a fine polishing medium on clear plastic & perspex.

zeds4ever:
 ;) I tried the "toothpaste " method & several others including "cutting compound", but found that "gumption" was more effective.

So who makes 'Gumption', Alan? Is it something available from the usual Supercheap etc?
