Acrylic Maintenance Part II - Deep Scratches

Acrylic Maintenance Part II - Deep Scratches

Small minor scratches can usually be removed using an automotive polishing compound or car wax.

Deep scratches can be removed by doing the following:

1. Mark the scratch with a dark colour marker, making sure that the ink reaches into the scratch.
2. Sand the scratch and the area around it with a 400-grit sandpaper. Always use water as a lubricant while sanding.
3. Sand it smoothly until the entire dark colour marker has been removed. DO NOT exert too much force. Make sure that you sand an area larger than the actual scratch so that it will blend into the surrounding acrylic. Repeat the first three steps until the scratch is completely gone.
4. Sand the area with progressively finer grits (600, 800, 1200, etc.) of sandpapers and water as a lubricant until the area is eventually smooth.
5. Finally, finish the repair by polishing with an automotive polishing compound, such as car wax.


This entire scratch removal process should only last for 10 minutes maximum.
For any major damages, please consult a professional technician for further assistance.
