Has anyone used Mirror Glaze and what were your results. It looks like
there is both a cleaner # M1708 and polisher # M1008. I assume you
would use the cleaner and then the polisher. I cound it online for
.0590 AMU for a 8 ounce bottle.... Not bad for things aviation
related... What say you?
I have used both for years - and your assumption is correct. Good
products, and you can buy them at most auto parts and boating supply
stores. Just last week I bought a bottle of another Meguiars product:
Plast-X, which claims to be both a cleaner and polish. It did a good
job on two scuffed up motorcycle helmet visors - with some elbow
grease. I haven't had a chance to try it on an airplane windshield yet.
I got the Plast-X at Walmart, and IIRC they had the cleaner as well.

I have even used tooth powder and automotive rubbing compound to take
scratches out of Plexiglass. All these products are is a fine abrasive
(usually powdered pumice), mixed with a slurry agent (usually mineral
spirits or kerosene, with maybe a little petroleum jelly).
You can take out deep scratches with wet sandpaper, varying up to 2000
grit, then polishing out with any of the above stuff. Try it on a piece
of scrap Plexiglass.
