The Old Grey Whistle Test
~One manâ€â„¢s opinion / observations~
Polishing Plastic:
Plastic polish will not remove clarity defects that are within the plastic but it will remove external/surface scratching and oxidation (yellowing) Prior to application of a plastic polish ensure that the surface is clean and free from dust particles by washing (It is not advisable to use cleaning detergents on plastic) with a soft cloth and warm water.
Use a plastic polish Meguiarâ€â„¢s PlastX or Renovo Plastic Cleaner (safe for all types of clear and coloured plastics, Lexan, Perspex, Lucite and most clear acrylics).
Methodology:
·Shake the bottle thoroughly. Plastic polish can be hand or machine applied
·Using a random orbital buffer with a 3.5-inch backing plate and a 4-inch (LC White) polishing pad or a terry cloth applicator
·Place a small dab (about ½-inch) of plastic polish on the foam pad or applicator.
·Place the pad on the surface and turn on the machine (speed #4)
·Polish the surface repeatedly in a left-to-right and an up and down pattern.
·Continue polishing until all the polish is gone
·Wipe the surface with a damp Microfiber towel
·Inspect the surface, repeat the polishing process as necessary (usually 2-3 times)
