Removing scratches from plastic magnifying glass?
on: November 11, 2021, 12:25:16 AM
I bought a foldout plastic magnifier for cheap from an antique store and it has a lot of scratches all over.

Does anyone have recommendations on removing them?

If they're shallow scratches, perhaps Polywatch.

I've read that toothpaste can be used to rub out scratches, but I have not tried it.

I think they are a little too deep for that :-(
