polish

[Paul McCloud]

I usually recommend the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #10 (polish), #17 (cleaner),
or #18 (liquid, like Cory's).  The first two are cream polishes.  Any
product which is meant for plexiglas, lexan, etc. will work well.  If you
have a plastics store in town, they will have polishes.  Boat stores
usually carry Meguiar's, as do most automotive stores.  In a pinch, you can
use "Gel-Gloss" which is meant for fiberglass shower stalls (won't
scratch).  Don't use window cleaners, they will make the surface look dull
(but won't hurt either).   Car wax will also work.  
 The  Cory's hi gloss product is very good.  I can get a gallon of the same
kind of stuff at our local plastics store for about $30.00.  Why pay more? 
I also bottle it myself, label it with my bus. logo, and give it out as a
sample.\
