polishing plex

JRD—

Are the side ports and hatches lexan or acrylic. Acrylic is the standard, and unless you replaced them, I'd be surprised if they were polycarbonate.

Dog- side windows are 1/2" Lexan with a light tint. Hatches I'm not positive, but they scratch fairly easy so I've assumed Lexan, but not sure. Novus seems to work well on both.

My husband uses Brasso metal polish once a year on our old ports,works well and is cheap and does the brass too.

Thanks for the idea

Now, after half an hour of work I can say that it works on a car headlights...at least it worked on a 2000 Mitsubishi Pajero

I have used a medium grade plastic polish. Have done it by hand with circular movements. They were yellowish...now they look new
