OK so one of my amps Pyramid PB675 has a Plexiglass top and it was scuffed to a hazy look.
So I searched on this forum and couldn’t find any reference to such thing. But then searched Goggle and found that some peeps were using buffing wheels and other stuff, and I came across a someone using car polish, wheel didn’t have any around, but did have Autosol metal polish, and about after 15 min and three applications and just using Some blue paper towel, it came not perfect but can see through no problem and looks good.
And it also cleaned my chrome outside of the amp also.

If the scratches are bad I will use a multi step process of 1000/2000/3000 grit wet sanding followed by a 4000 grit buffing pad and then Meguiar's PlastX.
If you can find one of those little rectangle sponges women use to buff their finger nails with (check a nail salon), they are actually covered in 4000 grit abrasive.

I've used this and a wool pad on a buffer, keep it wet until you are done or the plastic melts. Meguiars #83 Dual Action Cleaner/Polish
Did a few snowmobile windshields and plastic headlights, sometimes use some 2000 grit wet and compound before if really bad. The #83 works pretty slow by hand.

This is great info...I am subscribing! I have a pair of Phoenix Gold Cyclones....and some of the LExan/plexi has scratches...
Unfortunately as well...there are some pits and chips....nothing major....but they are there. Any ideas on filling pits? or chips?

Hi,
is Plexiglass an acrylic sheet or a polycarbonate sheet?
Acrylic can be polished easily by the methods described, but polycarbonate will prove to be very difficult to polish back to visual transparency

My snowplow is lexan and I polish that out, but of course I don't worry about it being perfect just so the lights shine through.
I used to polish small parts for one company and we used bees wax and toothpaste with a die grinder that had a cloth buffing wheel on it. A CNC would cut the part, we put it on a collet and spun it, then hit it with the wheel to polish it. They came out very clear like eye glasses, and it was pretty fast even doing it by hand.
