Plexiglass polishing

[DrippinF150]

Hello everyone.Hoping someone can lend some advice. I have a motorcycle windshield that is in pretty rough shape. I was thinking of wet sanding with 3000+ grit sand paper and polishing it. Has anyone ever done this or have another method? Thanks in advance.

It will probably be similar to polishing headlight lenses.  You'll get it better, but hard to achieve perfection.

 

What type of M/C windshield is it?  Some windshields are cheap, I remember my 'Zuki's I used to be able to get double bubbles for 65 bucks, if the shield is absolutely hammered I'd look into an upgrade.

I believe its just a Harley Davidson one. It is my brothers bike and it is pretty big. Hammered wise I wouldn't say its toast but it just could use a nice cleaning up. I was just curious as to if the Adams correction polishes would work.

Matt, as Jason mentioned, they are usually very similar to correcting headlights, although I've found them to be a little bit softer that standard headlight plastic lenses.

 

Just start gentle and see what kind of results you acheive.  I would only wetsand if the polishes don't take care of it first.

 

Least agressive method first, always!

Good advice Nick, I neglected to mention that even on headlights I always break out the machine and the liquids before I actually bust out sandpaper.  I'd rather get 90% corrected plastic with a machine and live with it than wetsanding down the UV coating on the plastic and losing that.
