Title: removing scratches from a windscreen
Post by: Redd on October 06, 2019, 05:55:54 AM
The clear screen on my GTR had several scratches and also some 'etching' due to a cleaning chemical or similar. I used 'Mothers - Mag and Magnesuim' polish and then 'Novus 2 - fine scratch remover for plastics' to bring the screen back to life. The Mothers is only needed for the heavier damaged areas.

I was very happy with the results.

I have seen this used in the past, it is also very effective, as with any abrasive paste caution should be exercised    :yes:

I have since bought the '1' as well.

The '2' cleaned up my headlight lens also, it has a small scratch which has been removed without trace.

Post how you got on Lee, hope you have the same success on your clocks as I did on my screen.
