MR Acrylic case is yellowed--polishing possible?

[cayman shen]

I just bought a used saber and the acrylic case seems a bit lackluster, not quite hazy but the tiniest bit yellowed on the edges and in some light. Anything restore acrylic to its original shine?

I don´t think so, but let´s see what the others know about that

Check your phone book and find a plastics shop I know they can help you! i know there is help out there but not sure what the product is called but it will help!

The Novus Acrylic cleaner # 2 should help buff it out. Then use Novus # 1. Never use any other type window cleaner, better to use water on clean smooth cloth to clean acrylic cases, otherwise you risk acrylic yellowing.

I think this is acrylic itself, not the surface unless it is from cigarette smoke.

I know I had some acrylic tops to maul sabers left over from making them before and after a couple years in unconditioned storage they were yellow.

I'll second the Novus recommendation. That stuff is great.
