Got Scratches in your Acrylic?? This IS how you remove them while your tank is full.

Depending on the depth of the scratches, you may need to go down as low as 600 grit. You also need to go higher than 2000 before polishing and I would suggest using a machine such as an orbital polisher to do the polishing. A vibrating sander will work well for the sanding process. Don't sand in a circular motion. Do one grit vertical and the next horizontal.



great i will try this how high should i go? also i plan on using a palm sander?

Palm sander? You mean doing it by hand or a small vibrating sander? Doing it by hand will require a lot of work. Power tools make the job much easier.

As far as how high to go.. The high the grit that you work your way up to, the less polishing.. I'd take it up to 6000 grit if it were me.
