Repairing Hairline Scratches

  • Johnson Paste Wax
  • Novus Plastic Polish #1 & #2 (Novus, Inc., Minneapolis, MN)

Graffiti / Paint Removal

The following products can be used to remove graffiti or paint from a LEXAN™ panel:

  • Butyl cellosolve
  • Masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools work well for lifting off old weathered paints
  • To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene, VM&P naphtha or petroleum spirits is generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate the sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.

Important Cleaning "Don't's"

  • DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners
  • Never scrape LEXAN™ with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments
  • Benzene, gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride should never be used
  • DO NOT clean LEXAN™ in hot sun or at elevated temperatures
