buffing out eisenglass?

[Woodsong]

The camper enclosure on my boat has the typical small scratches you would expect for an enclosure that is 3-4 years old. I have heard you can buff out these small scratches and get it looking new again. Anyone know how to do this? Overall the enclosure is in great shape and looks better than others I have seen of same age but if it can look even better that would be great!!

I use Armada 210 Scratch Remover and elbow grease. Depending on the size and depth of the scratches it may take some effort but I find it works well. I've also heard of people getting good results using toothpaste on small scratches. You'll find it on Page 712 of the BoatFix Catalog.

I think this is what you are looking for - scroll down about 2/3rd's the page to the section titled "Clear Vinyl Window Restoration Procedure".

basically its the same as doing the hull.
just dont use as much pressure, and use a mild polish. i like to use a watered down finesse mix. then follow with a wax or other protectant

I just bought some Plexus, I heard that stuff works good too.

I use a product called Novus. It has three different cleaners/polishers depending on how bad the eisenglass is faded or scratched. It is numbered 1, 2, and 3. I use this every year on my boat and it does a great job.

Meguiar's 10 and 17 has worked well for me. Pledge during the season.

Don't use "lemon" Pledge as the citric acid will damage the eisnglas over time.

Theres someting light Aircraft owners use on thier lexan windshields.
It worked well on a Piper pacer I had some time in.
Prolly a pilot shop would know best.
