I offered this suggestion since it is a) not too abrasive and won't do more damage; and I used a similar product from 3M that worked pretty well at removing swirl marks from someone who cleaned my windshield with a dry towel. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I have also used it on plastic touch pads on the home micro wave panel. It is cheep and seems to last. Cost $16.95 per quart. I believe it is the "polymers" that make it work with the carnauba for the protection. I have included the link. View Product bulletin. PDF / for more info.. http://www.detailsupplyoutlet.com/item.htm?item_num=111 ADDED: from the Ridout plastics store (FAQ) from the link Phil T posted. When your beautiful piece of Lucite acrylic scratches, you can fix it quickly! If you can't feel the scratch with your fingernail, then Novus#2 or #3 should restore the finish. Otherwise, you will need to sand and buff the area that is scratched to return the shine (see next paragraph). It's the same way we polish the edges of thick pieces of acrylic here at Ridout Plastics - it works! This procedure ONLY works on acrylic. It does not work on styrene (like the colored boxes we sell) or on polycarbonate (Lexan, Tuffak, Cyrolon). They both look clear, but they cannot be restored. Ask about our Abrasion Resistant coatings... Solution: Sand the affected area with 400 Wet/Dry, then 600 Wet/Dry. Use a buffing wheel on your drill with the Plastic Buffing Compound or White Diamond as Rouge is too fine, to restore the shine. Let the compound do the work - do not press hard or you will "burn" the compound into the plastic. Ask a salesperson to show you the helpful products on our shelves.
