Picked up a 76 parts car the other week. It came with a saratoga top that is in pretty good shape. I think I'm going to keep the top, I know I know, bakes you in the sun, fits like crap, .....blah blah blah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) On to my question. It has some scratches and rub marks, nothing to deep. Can these be buffed / polished out? If so what should I use. I will post some pictures later tonight.

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Dont know what you should use but I wouldnt want to make a mistake and use the wrong thing. It would be an expensive learning curve. So with that being said, have you tried any of your local plastic shops.

I went down to mine to get some work done and I saw this lexan clear plastic picture frame. It must of been 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. They told me it was made of 4 pieces of lexan and it was flamed polished to remove all seams. It looked like one piece of glass. I'm sure someone in the business could make it look like new again.
