Does anyone know of any products for polishing scratches out of perspex windows and general cleaning??

Brasso (Spelling alert!!??) is very good. Also that famous crome cleaner in a silver tube?????????????????????? Zymonol?????????

from google search :

Believe it or not, the best solution is Brasso. Just apply and keep rubbing, then polish off. Amount of rubbing depends on severity of scratching. I had bad abrasion marks from ropes holding a tarpaulin over the roof during winter (ropes rubbed back and forth over window when windy) Brasso took even that out with not too much elbow grease.
Duraglit brass cleaner is good for scratches, if they are reasonably deep then try a toothpaste designed for smokers then finish of with Duraglit.
Farecla make a product called boatpride, I believe it is also marketed as caravan pride as well now. It is a purpose made acrylic polish for perspex and polycarbonates. If you have deep scratches a wet & dry 1000 grade with soap water will speed up the process and finish of with farecla. Most good accessory shops should stock it.
Try some toothpaste as it is very slightly abrasive and polishes scratches out.

by the way, polish for perspex is plashtika (nearest translation);)

I made the last one up - just had mail returned from polish translation site - the actual translation is pleksiglas.

Now here's a brain teaser - could you ask a pole for polish for perspex in polish ? - at least now you know how to say perspex.

toothpaste

RS (RadioSpares) foam polish works even better, but both are for the last stages really.
