Quixx 10003 - Acrylic scratch eraser, 50g

Product Information

The procedure to repair deeper scratches is similar to the process to repair light scratches, except we’re adding two more items – 600 grit sandpaper and Novus No. 3. Collect the following items:

Wet one piece of 600 grit sandpaper - run it over the scratched area in a circular motion and repeat with a dry piece of 600 grit sandpaper too. Rub with both wet and dry sandpapers for around 3 to 3 minutes. Don't worry if your acrylic looks more frosty or scratched - this will go away during the process.

If traces of a scratch remain, clean the area again and move on to a 1,000 grit sandpaper (the higher the number, the finer the grit), repeating the circular buffing motion and cleaning after each pass. Continue to use progressively finer-grit sandpaper, up to around 2,000 grit, until the scratch has completely disappeared. When the scratch has been smoothed out, clean the surface again with a damp cloth. STEP 6: Polish to renew sheen. Before buffing, clean the plastic surface thoroughly so any loose debris doesn’t further scratch the plastic. Use warm water and a few drops of dish soap, or a small amount of rubbing alcohol applied on a clean cloth or cotton round. It’s important, however, to proceed with caution:Use the wrong technique, and you could dull the finish or create more scratches, worsening the problem. The goal is to break down the plastic just enough to even out the scratch and restore a seamless surface. So rather than trash those plastic items, get them looking good as new again with our tips for how to remove scratches from plastic. Tools & Materials Alternate between the above two steps for about four minutes. Your acrylic will look rough – this is fine.

Whether acrylic plastic is being used for home use or commercial use, it’s an unfortunate reality that it may accidentally become scratched. Fortunately acrylic’s physical properties allow it to easily be buffed with special, slightly abrasive solutions. If a scratch is less than 5 mm deep, it’s a simple procedure to fix acrylic.

Don't use a cloth that has an abrasive side since it will only add more scratches to your plexiglass. [8] X Expert Source Claudia & Angelo Zimmermann
