For example, <a href=\"\/acrylic-sheets\/clear-cast-acrylic-sheet\">clear acrylic sheets<\/a> have exceptional optical clarity, while <a href=\"\/acrylic-sheets\/colored-cast-acrylic-sheet-paper-masked\">colored acrylic sheets<\/a> are available in a spectrum of colors. Unfortunately, when compared to stronger plastics like polycarbonate, plexiglass scratches more easily. This creates not only a visually unappealing appearance but also damages the acrylic&#8217;s durability. Thankfully, it&#8217;s often much easier to repair acrylic than it is to create scratches in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acrylic scratches can often be repaired, unlike cracks or crazing, which typically require replacement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light scratches are best removed using a polish like Novus No. 2, combined with gentle circular buffing using a soft cloth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate scratches require wet and dry sanding with 600\u20131200 grit sandpaper, followed by polishing with Novus products.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep scratches (over 5 mm) are usually irreversible, and it&#8217;s often best to replace the sheet or upgrade to polycarbonate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper prep and clean tools are essential.

In this how-to guide, we will walk through how to evaluate scratches and provide instructions for repairing light and moderate scratches in acrylic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/sandpaper-remove-acrylic-scratch.jpg\" alt=\"sandpaper removes scratches from plexiglass\" width=\"509\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/sandpaper-remove-acrylic-scratch.jpg 509w, https:\/\/www.acmeplastics.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/sandpaper-remove-acrylic-scratch-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Begin by Evaluating the Scratched Acrylic<\/h2>\n<p>Before you begin repairing scratches in acrylic, it&#8217;s important to make sure the acrylic is actually scratched. Make sure you&#8217;re not just looking at &#8220;crazing.&#8221; Did these scratches mysteriously appear shortly after cleaning the acrylic with chemical-based cleaners? If so, this is likely an unfortunate consequence of chemical damage \u2013 not scratching. Crazing requires a lot of aggressive sanding and polishing to fix, and often never looks good as new. It&#8217;s generally advised that you purchase a new sheet if the crazing is significant.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have determined your plexiglass is scratched, you then need to determine the depth of the scratch \u2013 this will help you identify the best removal technique.<\/p>\n<p>[wbcr_snippet id=&#8221;729&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>To evaluate the depth of scratches, lightly run your fingernail over the scratched portion of acrylic. If the scratch caught your fingernail, then it&#8217;s a deep scratch. If the scratch is deep, try to estimate how deep it is. Any scratches deeper than 5 mm are exceptionally heavy scratches \u2013 these are generally regarded as irreparable, and can only occasionally be repaired by specialty buffing tools.<\/p>\n<p>Deep cracks cannot easily be fixed. If cracked acrylic must be fixed, there are a few ways to <a href=\"\/content\/a-guide-to-gluing-acrylic-plastic-to-plastic\/\">glue acrylic<\/a> together. However, this won&#8217;t necessarily join the acrylic cleanly, and some glue residue may be visible. If this isn&#8217;t suitable for your acrylic&#8217;s use case, there&#8217;s not very much to be done \u2013 we would recommend purchasing a new <a href=\"\/acrylic-sheets\">acrylic sheet<\/a>, or purchasing a stronger plastic like <a href=\"\/polycarbonate\">polycarbonate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Removing Light Plexiglass Scratches<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to repair acrylic that has light surface scratches, which generally result from regular wear-and-tear. To begin, get a few basic items ready:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acrylic cleaner (we recommend <a href=\"\/novus-no-1-plastic-clean-shine-8-oz\">Novus No. 1<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Acrylic polish (we recommend <a href=\"\/novus-no-2-fine-scratch-remover-8-oz\">Novus No. 2<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Sandpaper (800 and 1200 grit)<\/li>\n<li>Water for the sandpaper<\/li>\n<li>Clean soft cotton or microfiber cloth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First, we will <a href=\"\/content\/acrylic-cleaning-maintenance-tips\/\">clean the acrylic<\/a>. If there are small amounts of dirt on the acrylic, the acrylic will likely become more scratched during the repair process. For best results, we recommend spraying a special acrylic cleaner like <a href=\"\/novus-no-1-plastic-clean-shine-8-oz\">Novus No. 1<\/a> on the acrylic. However, warm water and mild dish detergent will also do an adequate job. Then, use the cotton or microfiber cloth to gently <a href=\"\/content\/acrylic-cleaning-maintenance-tips\/\">clean<\/a> the area. Rinse the acrylic with warm water and use a dry microfiber or cotton cloth to remove excess water.<\/p>\n<p>Take a good look at these mild scratches. If the scratches are only visible upon close inspection, sandpaper may not be necessary. Instead, use an abrasive acrylic polish (we recommend <a href=\"\/novus-no-2-fine-scratch-remover-64-oz\">Novus No. 2<\/a>) directly on the scratched area and apply consistent, moderate pressure to a clean, soft rag. Move it in a circular motion until you can\u2019t see the scratches. This could take a few minutes, so don\u2019t panic if the scratches don\u2019t disappear immediately. When you believe the acrylic is smooth, gently wipe off the compound with a clean cotton or microfiber towel.<\/p>\n<p>If some scratches are still visible, get the sandpaper, water, acrylic polish, and a fresh, clean cotton or microfiber cloth. Then, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wet a piece of 800 grit sandpaper, and rub it onto the scratched portion in a circular motion.<\/li>\n<li>Use a piece of dry 800 grit sandpaper, and rub it onto the same portion in a circular motion.<\/li>\n<li>Alternate between the above two steps for about three minutes. Your acrylic may still look scratched \u2013 but we\u2019re not done yet!<\/li>\n<li>Wet a piece of 1200 grit sandpaper, and lightly rub it into the scratched portion.<\/li>\n<li>Use a piece of dry 1200 grit sandpaper, and go over the above potion again.<\/li>\n<li>Alternate between the above two steps until you believe there are no more scratches.<\/li>\n<li>Take a dry, clean cotton or microfiber cloth. Wipe away any fragments. Warning: A dirty cloth could scratch the acrylic again!<\/li>\n<li>Now, apply <a href=\"\/novus-no-2-fine-scratch-remover-64-oz\">Novus No. 2<\/a> to the sanded area. Gently use a clean cloth to rub it in.<\/li>\n<li>Gently wipe off the remaining Novus No. 2 with a clean, damp towel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>At this point, your acrylic should look shiny and as good as new. If you can still see a crack \u2013 the scratch was likely deeper than a light scratch.<\/p>\n<h2>Removing Moderate &amp; Deep Plexiglass Scratches<\/h2>\n<p>The procedure to repair deeper scratches is similar to the process to repair light scratches, except we&#8217;re adding two more items \u2013 600 grit sandpaper and Novus No. 3. Collect the following items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acrylic Polish (we recommend all three <a href=\"\/novus-acrylic-care-pack-2-oz-bottles-of-no-1-2-and-3\">Novus products<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Clean, soft cotton or microfiber cloth<\/li>\n<li>Sandpaper (600, 800 and 1200 grit)<\/li>\n<li>Water for the sandpaper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure that the acrylic sheet is cleaned either with dish soap or Novus No. 1. Then, follow this procedure to remove moderately deep (under 5 mm) scratches from acrylic:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wet a piece of 600 grit sandpaper, and rub it onto the scratched portion in a circular motion.<\/li>\n<li>Use a piece of dry 600 grit sandpaper, and rub it onto the same portion in a circular motion<\/li>\n<li>Alternate between the above two steps for about four minutes. Your acrylic will look rough \u2013 this is fine.<\/li>\n<li>Wet a piece of 800 grit sandpaper, and rub it onto the scratched portion in a circular motion.<\/li>\n<li>Use a piece of dry 800 grit sandpaper, and rub it onto the same portion in a circular motion<\/li>\n<li>Alternate between the above two steps for about three minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Wet a piece of 1200 grit sandpaper, and lightly rub it into the scratched portion in a circular motion.<\/li>\n<li>Use a piece of dry 1200 grit sandpaper, and go over the above potion again in a circular motion.<\/li>\n<li>Alternate between the above two steps until you believe there are no more scratches.<\/li>\n<li>Take a dry, clean cotton or microfiber cloth. Wipe away any fragments Warning: A dirty cloth could scratch the acrylic all over again!<\/li>\n<li>Spray <a href=\"\/novus-no-3-heavy-scratch-remover-8-oz\">Novus No. 3<\/a> to the sanded area. Gently use a clean cloth to polish with a firm, back and forth motion.<\/li>\n<li>Remove all remaining Novus No. 3 with a clean cloth.<\/li>\n<li>Apply <a href=\"\/novus-no-2-fine-scratch-remover-8-oz\">Novus No. 2<\/a> to the area. Gently use a clean cloth in a firm, back and forth motion.<\/li>\n<li>Use a cloth to wipe away any remaining cleaner.<\/li>\n<li>After following this procedure, your acrylic should appear scratch-free. Polish the plastic using <a href=\"\/novus-no-1-plastic-clean-shine-8-oz\">Novus No. 1<\/a> for best results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember, extremely deep cracks cannot easily be fixed. If cracked acrylic must be fixed, there are a few ways to glue acrylic together. However, this won\u2019t necessarily join the acrylic cleanly, and some glue residue may be visible. If this isn&#8217;t suitable for your acrylic&#8217;s use case, there\u2019s not very much to be done. We \u2013 we would recommend purchasing a new acrylic sheet, or purchasing a stronger plastic like polycarbonate.<\/p>\n<p>[wbcr_snippet id=&#8221;729&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Whether acrylic plastic is being used for <a href=\"\/content\/7-ways-to-use-acrylic-sheets-at-home\/\">home use<\/a> or <a href=\"\/content\/business-uses-acrylic-plastic\/\">commercial use<\/a>, it&#8217;s an unfortunate reality that it may accidentally become scratched. Fortunately acrylic&#8217;s physical properties allow it to easily be buffed with special, slightly abrasive solutions.
