If traces of a scratch remain, clean the area again and move on to a 1,000 grit sandpaper (the higher the number, the finer the grit), repeating the circular buffing motion and cleaning after each pass. Continue to use progressively finer-grit sandpaper, up to around 2,000 grit, until the scratch has completely disappeared. When the scratch has been smoothed out, clean the surface again with a damp cloth. STEP 6: Polish to renew sheen. To evaluate the depth of scratches, lightly run your fingernail over the scratched portion of acrylic. If the scratch caught your fingernail, then it’s a deep scratch. If the scratch is deep, try to estimate how deep it is. Any scratches deeper than 5 mm are exceptionally heavy scratches – these are generally regarded as irreparable, and can only occasionally be repaired by specialty buffing tools.

Proceed to the next step if your scratches are pretty light or skipstraight to Step4 if you’re attempting to buff out a bit of a gouge. STEP 3: First buffusing a mild abrasive, like toothpaste or baking soda. Wet one piece of 800 grit sandpaper - run it over the scratch in a circular motion and repeat with a dry piece of 800 grit sandpaper. Alternate between the dry and wet sandpaper, rubbing for 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t worry if your acrylic begins to look more frosty or appear to have more little scratch marks on it - this will go away during the process. Wet sanding slowly levels out the surface of the plastic with a bit more force than toothpaste or baking soda, making it ideal for deeper scratches. Moisture keeps material from building up in the sandpaper, preventing further scratches from marring the plastic.

To remove light scratches in your acrylic, you’ll need an acrylic or plastic polish, 800 and 1200 grit sandpaper and water to soak the sandpaper with. If your scratched plastic is clear it is likely to be either acrylic or polycarbonate, which are the two most popular clear plastics. Scratches can be removed more successfully from acrylic than polycarbonate. Once polycarbonate is scratched it is not really possible to remove scratches. Scratches can, however, be removed from both clear and coloured acrylics.

The depth of a scratch dictates how to remove it. Generally, if you run your fingernail over the scratch and the nail doesn’t hook, it’s shallow enough to be successfully treated with light abrasives, such as toothpaste or baking soda. If the nail does catch, however, it’s a deeper scratch that will require a series of passes with a super-fine grit wet sandpaper. STEP 2: Get it squeaky clean. It’s easy to repair acrylic that has light surface scratches, which generally result from regular wear-and-tear. To begin, get a few basic items ready: Finally, dry the area with a soft, dry and clean cotton cloth, applying the acrylic polish and the acrylic should look like it has never been scratched! The polish should restore your acrylic to a high level of shine. The silica in toothpaste may be just abrasive enough to touch up minor scratches. Squeeze out just enough to cover the scratch and, working in small circles with a cotton round or clean, dry cotton cloth, buff until the surface begins to even out. Rinse residue with water and examine your work; it may take a few applications and up to 10 minutes of elbow grease before you get the results you want.Soak a piece of 800-grit wet/dry sandpaper in water for several minutes until saturated. Use a gentle, circular motion to sand the area, making sure not to apply too much pressure or you could introduce new scratches. Rinse between passes and re-wet the sandpaper as needed throughout the process. STEP 5: Go for a finer grit. product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->
