You might want to be careful using any chemicals on plexiglas, it can cause crazing. Rohm & Hass and AC 43-13 recommend nothing stronger than mild soap and water, and specifically recommend against "Windex" Bill

Even clears up some scratched watch crystals. Some silver polishes seem to work, also. But, use is sparingly and start on a small test spot. Cheap and easy to find.

It is worth a try. You can get it from Wag Aero.orHere is the website:https://www.micro-surface.com/default.cfm?page_id=200 Here it is at about half price on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/MICRO-MESH-FINISHING-SET-PEN-BLANK-WOOD-TURNING-PEN-KIT_W0QQitemZ270228085830QQihZ017QQcategoryZ71234QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem The e-bay stuff is the cotton backed micro-mesh but it works good if you cut a stiff sponge to size as a backer. Use plenty of water with about 10 drops of liquid soap per gallon. (or more, it is just for lubrication)Keep the sandpaper flat and take long strokes. Start with the 1200 and end with the 12000.
