[QUOTE="Rodney_gold, post: 760467, member: 579"] Only real way to do this is to sand with fine waterpaper and successively polish with finer and finer rouges and mops till you are using a swansdown mop with no polish Dont use brasso or silvo .. they contain solvents etc and can lead to stress cracking on certain types of acrylic .. use Maguires type stuff flame polishing uses a very high heat flame that is the product of splitting water into Hydrogen and oxygen and burning it. Its a very narrow flame used mainly for cut edges and it is a balancing act of enough heat to melt saw or milling marks and heat deformation of the acrylic.. not all plastics can be heat polished .. but large surfaces are very difficult or impossible to do this way .. linger a little too long and you damage more than polish..
