Cleaning some acrylic

[IFA]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to clean properly an acrylic display case without leaving traces ?

Thanks

might help to put this in the Prop Forum instead of the Junkyard..

Novus plastic polish #1: "Plastic clean and shine." Use it with a thin lint-free cloth.
I've used it on several of my cases and it works great.

Ooops.....I put that on the wrong thread...sorry :redface

I have Novus #1, it works well but I always have some traces when you look at your plexi cover in the sunshine !!!

Thanks

Well, I always take a second, clean cloth and buff the heck out of it after I polish it. I've never noticed anything afterwards.

Not tried this myself, but what about glass cleaner?

Just an idea.


cheers

If I remember well, normal glass cleaner is not recommended for acrylic covers as it could "attack" the plexiglass...

Thanks

I definitely wouldn't use glass cleaner. Try Brillianize - it gets acrylic really clean plus is static charged so it repels dust. I know you can get it from the rebelscum.com store. Great stuff.

Another Novus booster here!

Works great and is also anti-static, and the #2 and # 3 take scratches out.

OK, I will try to buy some "brillianize". Always good to try some new solutions. Thanks.

Yes Apollo, I also used Novus #2 and #3 to remove some big scratches on an acrylic cover.....they did a good job but no miracles :lol

Thanks
