I have found that I'm able to get a lot of scratches out of other parts with no ill effects. Now I'm not sure about clear or trans parts, though I don't see why not.. I have a compound we use for cleaning our guns after we shoot them. and it works great :) it's called Flitz, it's a metal and fiberglass (sink tops, shower stalls type) cleaner, it will also remove paint from printed parts, I think faster than brasso does, Though... it's not cheap stuff.. (One good thing is you don't need a lot of it at a time.) I'll try it on an old clear brick right now before you might go buy some... (does the proverial hang on a sec ;) ) well after about 4 mins, I have most of the little scratches out, and few of the major ones, and I have to say, there's NO discoloration of the brick, it actually seems clearer than the other side. I used an old yellowed 2x4 clear brick for the test. Hope this helps you a bit.

Thanks. Can I pick this product up at a typical hardware store? How much does a small bottle typically cost? I have an old clear brick that I sanded (in desparation - Obviously, that made things worse!) - I can give it a shot on that, and then move (...) (26 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

I picked some of this up and it worked great! It is a bit pricey. It comes in 3 "flavors." - One for fixtures, one for metal, and another for fiberglass/plastic. They only had the plastic version in a large, 250ml can for about $10. It was easily (...) (26 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)

Hi, I have several old Paradisa windows, some of which are well "used." Specifically, they are all scratched up. I have tried cleaning these with soap and water, and also with brasso, but nothing seems to help. I saw some product advertised on TV (I (...) (26 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
