Any tips &/or products to polish minor scratches from lexan windows?

I use 40 grit with a little dawn dish soap.

Meguiars Mirror Glaze. Any auto parts store. Comes in two "grits", start with coarser, then work to the fine. Love it, great stuff.

It's been a while but the flight line gang used to have a kit for scratch repair on aircraft lexan. It worked great. I can't remember the manufacturer, but my guess would be that any aircraft supply outfit would have one.

Novus is the best, just be sure to use very soft cloths, like microfiber.

John purchase some quality microfiber towels, stay away from the cheap ones at Wally World. You get what you pay for.

Get a 70/30 mixture towel (you will find this on the tag) stay away from the 80/20 mixture

McGuires makes stuff just for that I just bought some at Advanced for my shield and it worked great and on Pro Mod windows.
