Removing scratches on plastic

Post by Tidy »

I saw in a post a week back a guy did an awesome job on detailing a white polo. What really got my attention is how he removed the rear windows brake lights swirl marks and scratches.

How would one do this?

Tidy you would need to polish them with a light polish to remove the swirls. You could potentially achieve this by hand with some products if you felt like putting in some elbow grease :grin:

You welcome to swing by one weekend while I am busy and I'll sort out the lights for you...Usually only takes a few mins :cool:
