Diamond paste is the thing if you have a selection of grades. Failing that look at car paint prep products. Maguires or similar. Dependent on depth of scratch use the finest grade you can get away with and finish with a high polish product.
T cut scratch remover works on plastics as well as paintwork. Deep scratches would first need to be removed using several grades of wet/dry paper used wet. The T cut will leave a haze which can be removed using a good car paint polish.
T cut is pretty coarse. A fine cut from a car prep specialist would be more suitable for fine scratches on perspex.
Well it obviously needs some ‘coarseness’ to it or it wont remove anything but the finest scratches. For very minor scratching (more like a scuff) then just use something like the resin polish shown above.
Yes, use the right grade for the job. Unfortunately T cut is very coarse even in the car prep world. It dries out and becomes very coarse often causing the bloom you describe when a finer compound wouldn’t. It’s just a friendly warning to be carful.
Two other T Cut products for your consideration. The 2-in-1 is my usual choice, for most things - rather that the ‘Red’ original T Cut - or AutoSol Chrome cleaner… But I see T Cut also now do a Home version…
PS. I have never had to use anything on my smoked LP12 lid…
For paint prep you’d always start with the finest compound first, if it doesn’t make enough impact then move onto something coarser. Once you removed the worst then work back down to the finer grades and Autoglym polish is a good choice.
A 50th birthday present from my wife! A Radikal upgrade from my existing Akurate to the new Klimax and a cartridge upgrade from Krystal to Ekstatik. I can’t express how utterly amazed I am about these 2 upgrades. The Krystal was no slouch but what the Ekstatik is capable of extracting is frankly just awesome. I know I am very lucky. All upgrades were skilfully implemented by the brilliant Peter Swain.
That’s a really nice looking deck. Lovely plinth.
Super photo’s too.
Thanks for sharing.
Also, interested to see how you have set-up - using glass and fraim bearing - on that surface.
If you have a moment, would love to see a better photo of that “set-up” detail.
Absolutely gorgeous looking turntable.
Thank you.
Interesting. Ive been thinking of doing something similar.
Did you need to do anything to level it all?
Was the glass custom made or standard?
BTW - that whole arrangement looks really neat and super cool
Thanks. The glass is standard. The pic below shows that the shelf is a lot stronger than it may look in other pics as the shelf is thicker than it appears and is perfectly level. I briefed the chippy accordingly when we had them made. Good luck with your project
@Buster, a wonderful birthday present! Someone is a lucky boy! Happy Birthday I bet it sounds great.
Is that Side 1 of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway that you’re playing on it?
It most certainly was…! Very well spotted…
(how on earth did you work that out…???)
Just checking Fly On a Windshield out…
And liking that DV cart!
