 Removing Scratchs on Acrylic I just got a used 100 gallon and it has some light scratchs all over it. It was prev. used for a reef tank. I know there is a polish called novus with has a 3 stage system that is pretty easy to use. Has anyone done this? Any tips? Thanks

| Re: Removing Scratchs on Acrylic I have done this and it takes out most small scratches but you can still see the big ones at an angle. The polish they put for the acrylic does wonders though. |

| Re: Removing Scratchs on Acrylic Ok, I tried the Novus scratch remover, level 1, 2 and 3. It did remove alot of the haze produced by the small scratchs but it didnnt remove ALL the scatchs. In fact it barley made a dent on the large ones. if anything it made the tank cleaner so the larger ones stand out more.

| Re: Removing Scratchs on Acrylic i used it on my 45 acrylic and it worked great. the larger ones you may have to hit more than one time...and i believe the stage 2 you can use a low speed orbital polisher to help with pesky scratches. |
