Another use for MicroMesh

[MesquiteMan]

You may alrady know this but one of the original uses for MicroMesh was for polishing polycarbonate aircraft windshields. As a matter of fact, MicroSurfaces, the manufacturer of MM has an FAA certified restoration service for doing just this.

I was in my shop this week and was trying to read my casio digital watch. It was getting fairly difficult because of all the scratches and occasional acetone I have gotten on the plastic lense. I decided, what the heck, I will try MM on it to see if it will do anything. Well I'll be darn, my watch lense looks like brand new after going though all the MM grits!!

Nest time you have a plastic watch lense that is all scratched, give it a try!

Yep, I get quite a few e-mails from people with acrylic aquariums.

That is true about MM. When I was in the military in Germany a friend of mine told me all about it and even gave me a couple of rolls. I have done the headlight on my Mom's 99 Ford Taurus, that had turned yellow and pitted really bad. The headlights looked just like new, and it only took us about 45 minutes total to do both. She even said it made a huge difference at night. As a matter of fact my friend got a great deal on a record player while there, and the only problem with it was the dust cover looked terrible, with all the scratches. It took him a weekend to do it but when done, it looked like new again. The stuff is fantastic, even works on a cars paint if it had extra clear coatc on it like his truck did.[]
