ABRASIONS AND HAZE

The original gloss can be restored by hand buffing with "Novus Plastic Polish", "Mirror Glaze Professional For-
mula Number 17", or similar polishing compounds. A buffing wheel with a small amount of automotive type
paste wax applied to the pad may also be used. Use a very light touch, because ABS/DR acrylic polishes eas-
®
ily. Johnson's "J-Wax" or "Kit" may be applied as a final treatment.

LIGHT SCRATCHES

Ajax cleanser applied dry and hand-rubbed will rapidly smooth moderate scratches. Use a soft polishing com-
pound to restore gloss.
Scratches (up to 10 mils; the equivalent thickness of an average business card) can be removed by light
sanding. Start with wet silicone carbide abrasive paper (320 grit or finer). Use progressively finer grits (i.e.
400, 600, 800) to reduce sanding marks. Use Ajax cleanser (or equivalent) for final smoothing. A "Micro
Mesh" acrylic polishing kit with abrasive papers from 1800 to 8000 grit will provide the best final finish. Restore
gloss with soft polishing compound. It is not the intent of any of these processes to fill-in material removed due
to light scratches but rather to blend the finish of the surrounding area and the scratch together.

LARGE SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS

Touch-up is not recommended. Replace the entire body part or have it repaired by a professional paint and
body repair shop with experience repairing ABS/DR acrylic bodies.

frame (Figure 4-2, Page 4-6).
