Hello chaps, I've been a berk and dropped a bollock!!! I had some sticky stuff on the face of my Reubens and used what I thought was a non scratch sponge. I was wrong and the face is in a state!!!
Can anyone recommend a plastic polish to remove fine scratches? Cheers

For a bigger audience I'd ask this in the Tackle section. Not everyone looks at Non Carp

Toothpaste works surprisingly well (not the gel ones)

If the scratches are deep toolstation do a polishing kit you use with a drill for about a fiver, I haven't tried on plastic tho.

I have all sorts of polishes and burnishing creams, but often end up using cream cleaner or toothpaste with a polishing mop.

I'm sure they repackage cream cleanser and sell it as upvc cleaner.

I dunno about repackaging it, but all these polishes are just an abrasive grit suspended in liquid, some will have corrosive liquids to speed things up (brasso for example)
Wet newspaper is a nice very fine abrasive for a final polish too, the cheap ones that stain your fingers

I use autosol scratch remover for my acrylic fish tank.Easier with an electric buffer or an old t shift wrapped in a ball and tie to a drill.
You can also use t.cut as well.
For really deep scratches use a fine 2000/2500 wet and dry sandpaper first.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
