    Default f4 screen how to remove scratches

    hi guys i have a f4 extra wide and tall screen for my rt.i put scratches in it on the outside or road side loading it into my box trailer.its hard to describe a scratch but you can feel it with your finger nail.i have emailed f4 twice but had no reply so if anyone can assist me please.
    when i bought it they said you can put steel wool on it and not scratch it so im wondering how im going to polish it out.start with super fine wet and dry and work up then paint polish
    maybe.

    cheers

    Polycarbonate windscreens once they get a scratch in them you pretty much have to put up with the scratch or get a new one. There is a film on the polycarbonate windscreen that if it gets damaged it'll eventually start to peel off.

    Default Try This....

    Rain-X has a product for plastic windshields. It puts a coating on to keep rain from staying on the surface. A couple of coats could fill in the small scartches. There may be other products out there that will help just need to google it....

    You might try several coats of Lemon Pledge. I use it to clean any plastic surface, including my windshield, body panels even my glasses. Fills in those mini scratches.

    Once you have put a scratch into the coating of that shield there's no real fix for it.
    I think if you try to wet sand it, it will just become worse...
