plexiglass polish

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

Does anyone recommend a polish to use on the flybridge smoked plexiglass on a F32? Mine has some cloudy areas that need to be restored to original shine.

There are a few products out there good for isenglass and other plastic glasses. When you clean the plastic make sure you use 100% cotton shirt. I would try the meguirs product " Don't remember the name" and the plexus cleaner. If that does not work look up Yacht brite buffs magic on the web and read what the suggest. I never had to clean that plastis wind screen your talking about but isenglass cleans up well with a low speed buffer wheel using wool. I would experiment a little area that is not out in the open. I hope that works out for you. Where is you f32 at?

Used to polish plastic with toothpaste back in the 80's!!
I have used mirror glaze clear plastic cleaner and polish to restore scratched up sonar screens. When complete, look new with no scratches. Can be found at sail rite, consumer marine electronics ...

Yes, Plexus! Just don't use paper towels.

Tried Plexus

I tried Plexus and it did not do a thing. Cleans the plexi really good but did not remove the cloudiness. I think it needs a more agressive polish and use of a buffing cloth.

Then try using Meguiar's PLASTX. I use it for removing the haze and fine scratches in composit headlamps. Does wonders on them...just don't have the need to use it on the boat. Good luck.
