How can you remove a large scratch on an acrylic surface?
We have an acrylic podium at my church and I noticed that somehow it has a large scratch on the front from being moved for a special service. Is there any type of cleaner or polish that can remove scratches from acrylic? Also what product would be good for regular general cleaning of the podium?
Minor scratches can be removed from acrylic with brasso (soft metal polish) and a soft cloth. Simply dab a small amount of polish onto the soft cloth and rub into the scratch, keep on rubbing until the scratch disappears. After you have removed the scratch spray furniture polish (pledge) onto the area and polish as normal. If the scratch is deep enough for you to feel with your finger nail then you are unlikely to achieve an 'as new' finish, but the scratch appearance may be improved with the brasso method. Good luck!
