window scratches

[helmsman]

we have suffered badly scratched windows which proprietory products wont remove. Anyone have an answer apart from replacement.All replies greatfully received.

Godards do a good product, failing that try micromesh. It will take hours!

If you have a polisher try Farecla G3 orG10. you can do it by hand but its a lot of work. Try to ensure that you polish the whole window or it looks very odd.

Use a rotary polishing tool as used in bodyshops most common are Rupes and Sealey. Use a bodyshop compounding head and paste with it.

Can one get those 'crazing/cracks' out of windows, or do they go all the way through? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sorry to say no, they are deep in the perspex. only cure is new perspex.

replacing the actual "glass" (well acrylic) is surprisingly easy and not that expensive. You dont need to buy new hatches
