Does anybody know of a product that works Plexiglass/Lexan windows
to remove the fine scratches that come with age and salt spray ?
The windows on my boat are very foggy from very fine scratches and
basically only good for letting light in, not seeing out.
If nobody knows a good product for restoring the wondows, does anybody
know somebody who can cut plexiglass/lexan to size ?

I don't know how this would work on Plexiglass/Lexan but it might be worth a try. When I owned a convertible auto with a fogged/scratched rear window, I used Pledge furniture polish on it. It wasn't like new, but it was quite a bit better than it had been. Wayne | |||||

My 25' had thick Lexan hatches that scratched fairly easily. I found
that Dupont Auto Polish followed by a hard pure wax did a nice job.
I think the compounds aimed at "fiberglass" restoration are too
coarse, but since they are not all the same, it may not be true
for all of them.

-<Happich's SEMICROME>-
Try to find some Happich's SEMICROME paste polish. It is available
in some auto supply stores, more likely motorcycle parts/supplies
store. I've had good luck on my fixed plexi ports on my boat (which
weren't that bad) and headlight covers (that were awfull!) on an
Alfa Romeo I used to have. It's great stuff, much finer abrasive
that most polish but seems to still do the trick. It also does a
super job on metal as well (even your finest silver) yet won't scratch.
Plexiglass is probably the toughest job I asked of it, but with
some patience and elbow grease you get a better job than other
products. Good luck, and happy sailing !
