 Try this:

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product/548-Fenwicks_Windowize_-Scratch_remover_for_acrylic_wi

 You could also try a car buffer/polisher machine if the windows were badly scratched takes the donkey work of doing it by hand.

depends on how deep the scatches are,if deep try T cut first,then finish off with the fenwicks.thats what i did.KEEP one hand on the caravan side when your doing it.its a nasty shock from static electricity.

Hi,

Does MER work on this problem too?

My windows are scratched from the previous owner washing them with a brush. Quite annoying when you can see the small scratches through the sunlight.

I realise that this is a very old thread....but I just want to give a thumbs up for Michael's tootpaste tip! ...

I've just managed to remove some,admittedly not all that deep but very noticable "hedgerow" scratches form our n/s windows...

..I was concerned that I was going to end up leaving more sratches & marks than I had to stary with..but the toothpaste worked great!

(..for the techinically minded,it was Colgate,"Triple Cool Stripe" with Cavity Protection".. )
