Default How do I remove scratches & swirls from windshield?

Anybody know a good way for getting scratches or swirls out of lexan or plexiglass windshields?

The windsheld on my golf cart has swirls in it like someone used an abraisive cleaner.

you can try one of those headlight repair kits.
they include the pad and compound or just buy a new one.

I have had good results with novus plastic polish on lexan windshields for race cars, it's kinda time consuming though, may be best to just replace it.

I would try Meguiars Plast-X with a cloth to start with and see if it works for you. I use it on my car, boat and GC.
It's available at any auto parts store:

I use a product called Plexus. Each time I use it it gets better. My windshield is 14 years old. Looks great!

I don't know if you want to go as far as I did on these old beat up light bar lenses but is possible to bring anything back to life. How long it will look that way is a different story.

Untouched.


50/50 With just Plastic X and my Makita Rotary with a polishing pad.

My friend did that to some headlight lenses. They get sandblasted in the desert...... I use plexus, Use it alot and polish it when it dries... I also use a product called Strech Plastics. It's incredible ~ Everything looks like new
