Does anybody know of a product that will remove or reduce scuff marks from the Perspex windows?
I have tried Vuplex but not successful.
Thanks.
Dick.

Brasso or toothpaste & touch of water & elbow grease. Don't use a mechanical polisher. Get the slave to do it!
You will not remove the scratches, but simply polish them so they are less visible. A problem I had with architectural model acrylic covers to tidy them up. It does come up well, but it is based on elbow grease input.

Thanks for reply. I thought of toothpaste and brasso but maybe a bit harsh. I might check the headlight restorer.
It's more of a graze from a tree branch.
Thanks again.
Dick.

Tree branches are a nuisance , often happens after a long day behind the wheel . Recently scraped paneling on side of our van
Try all of the above remedies though
I have taken to using a reciprocating saw to deal with nuisance branches ( good source of firewood)

Unfortunately, the trees are at the front of ours and the neighbours house.
I try to keep them trimmed, being in an over 55s lifestyle village, the roads are probably wider than you would normally come across.
I try to keep as close to the gutter on entry to the front of our house. Went a bit close on one occasion. The things are still growing. I consider the original landscaper planted the majority in the village too close to the gutters
and overhang the roads considerably. Another word to our Assoc Committee needed.

I believe Novus Compound is good, although I haven't tried it myself others have recommended it to me, it is on my list of products to get when I get around to it.
It is on the net, the link is too long to put up just search Novus Compound

I had very bad scuffs on all my widows
while brasso did help ,in the first it did not get them all out
I ended up sanding the scratches out
I started with a 2000 grit wet and dry 125mm hook and loop pad
I then wrapped around them a foam sanding block
( those black ones from Bunnings ) this gave me the grip to hold the disc
I then progressed to a 3000 grit wet and dry hook and loop 125 disc
this i did wet with a little dishwashing detergent
finally finished with a complete rub over with a fine car polish
