small scratch in plex... fixable?

<< < (2/2)

APFelon:
Novus is a great product. I used to use Novus 2 on pinball glass. The glass would become so clear, it would look as though I could grab the pinball off of the playfield.

Novus is the way to go.

> Ive heard of people using future floor polish

What if one does not have access to the future?
Is there any current floor polish that will work?

MonitorGuru:
I also can give recommendation to Novus.

I tried numerous plastic polishers (basically equivelent to Novus 1) but then saw lots of posts about how well Novus worked.

I bought some on a great deal off of eBay (1/2 what others sold them for---be careful, some only include trial packets of Novus 3, you want the entire 8 ounce bottles of Novus 1+2+3).

I tried it and it did wonders for restoring old Nintendo push buttons (a requirement since they are about 1/16" narrower than all other pushbuttons and shaped differently and no longer made), plus they fixed a portable Coleco Frogger's screen that someone mistakenly cleaned with orange cleaner and softened the plastic making it totally opaque :(  It brought it back to near perfectly clear screen.

I can't imagine working refurbishing old arcade games without Novus.  It is great stuff!

(And no, I am not a paid sponsor, just a very happy user of their product.)  It won't do miracles like 1/16" gouges or something, but surface scratches and opaqueness and dullness it will definitely fix given enough elbow grease or low torque power tools and polishing pads.

Edgedamage:
Also if you are a cheap tooth paste works great also.  But  as soon as someone with a bracelet playes your game get ready for more scratches.

I've used car polish to remove scratches in my work watch face. Works great.
