removing spider webs from the plexiglass?

Are you 100% postive it's plexiglas?

We recently had a discussion on working on Lexan versus Plexiglas. REAL Plexiglas is EASY to work on. Lexan is almost if not impossible to work on.

Everything in-between is probably doable.

Do a search on this forum using the term Lexan, it's about Ken's Corvette Lexan top.

Mike I'm sorry... and honestly don't have any useful information for *this* thread. But it 'amazes' me how many conversations/threads you can hold in your head, from the TENS OF THOUSANDS both here and MOL throughout the years. Then just BAM... "Oh hear ya' go, look *here*".

That is a talent my friend! :dblthumb2:

I don't know why, but that made me laugh so incredibly hard.

On topic:
Good luck! Looks like you've gotten some pretty solid information, and, as always, if you run into any problems you can always come back!

P.S. Make sure you update us!

I think you are over thinking this. Go with what you have and see what happens

That's the hard part. No company ever really shares this kind of detail about thier products. Not even in the boat world where there are a lot of rigid plastic window.

My guess is because no one ever things about the guy down the road that might actually have to WORK on the product in question.

You can try contacting the manufacture but that's usually a rabbit hole.

Did you do the search on this forum for the conversation about Lexan? LOTS of good info already posted in that thread. Here you go...


Corvette Glass Top Scratches



Best bet is to try PlastX using a clean foam applicator pad and test in a lower, out of the "major viewing" section not smack dab in the middle.

PlastX uses a different abrasive technology than M105 but they both work on plastics.

The trick is not just removing the current scratches... Any abrasive product can remove what's already there.



The REAL trick is removing what's already there without the product you're using leaving any of it's own scratches behind.



That's where polishing becomes a science and an art form...

Thank you....

Have my "forum work" is just remembering where "stuff" or "information" has already been posted and shared and often times already with before and after pictures, testimonies, links and videos.

There's very little that is actually new on the forum but remembering where a topic is from days gone by is the trick and one of my key strengths.

And that little tidbit is what made this project successful, (besides a little head knowledge), and will give others the confidence to follow you path...

PlastX has very good "abrasive technology" for plastics. M105 works very well too...
