DOES ANYONE HAVE A " MIRACLE CURE" TO REMOVE SCRATCHES ON LEXAN.... I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PLEXIGLASS ON MY 8.7 BUT EVEN THE NEW LEXAN HAS DEVELOPED HAIRLINE SCRATCHES... I HAVE TRIED THE MEGUIRES GLASS POLISH AND CLEANER WITHOUT ANY FAVORABLE RESULTS. THANKS, JERRY

Jerry, I had the same problem with my ports and hatches and proceeded to clear them all last summer. The T-10.5 has a pilot house which was useless with the hail lines on all 20 year old ports. As you did, I tried the MEGUIRES products without significant results. I also wet sanded some of them with no 5000 paper; I saw improvement but nothing to write home about. Finally, I used the NOVUS products. I understand that this is what they use to polish LEXAN bullit proof glass in police cars. Used with a buffer, these products did remove most of the hair lines and restored the ports and hatches to a useful level. These is 2 kinds of compound, depending on the scratches. There is also a polisher to protect from oxydation. For nearest distributor, call 800 548-6872 Good luck Bert.

Lexan vs plexi

Hi Jerry, I put tinted lexan on a new hard dodger last year. It developed scratch marks almost right away. Fortunatly the tint is on the inside. I put tinted plexi glass on a new forward hatch. After 3 seasons, no scratches. When I redo the side glass on the bubble top, I shall use tinted plexi glass. Happy sailing, George

I have used Brasso Brass polish with great success for removing scratches on lexan. Use lots and rub ,rub, rub.
