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 on to
restoring my beloved Paradisa windows.

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.

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 forget the name, something like
scratch-off) that claimed that it could buff-out scratches in glass and
plastic.

Do these products work?  Would they work on clear LEGO?  Has anyone had
success?

If anyone has had something work with this, then I'd appreciate knowing • the
name of the product.

Thanks
