ad3adman Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 So somehow in my mess that is my garage that i use for many other projects other than my Champcar, i have gotten chemical burns on my brand new lexan windshield. anyone have suggestions on how to get this out? i have tried scratch remover paste, headlight polish(for foggy lights), wet sand with 2000 grit and polish, and also 2000 grit and hit it with a heat gun to flow the scratches out. althoug the heat gave the clearest results, its very sketchy... any help would be greatly appreciated and no, i dont know what i splashed on it. i dont remember using any carb/parts cleaner near it, that seems the most likely culprit. thanks in advance.

Team Infiniti Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Is it Marguard or the cheaper unprotected stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margard is awesome, worth every dime over the non treated, wipers take years of racing to leave the smallest of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad3adman Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 i bought a piece of drop form a larger sheet, something they do not usually sell but since a had made a good purchase the day prior the accommodated me, but the piece i got was about 60.

So..... Some 3000 grit sandpaper, Meguiars mirror glaze and a harbor freight variable speed buffer, and what i mean by variable speed is, you set the speed and the out come varies wildly... I was able to get an acceptable result. I will deff get a better piece of lexan at the end of the year but this works for now.

That cost me a perfectly good beer and 30 minutes cleaning the keyboard. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworks Paul Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Wow, I didn't realize you could do that with any amount of success. Noted for future reference, I have a stack of windshield panels I was going to trash. Might have to get out the buffer and give it a try.

It works quite well on light scratches and haze. I need to do it again, it's going on ten years old, and 5 since the last polish and its tough to see through at any angle but straight on.
