how do I buff acrylic? ???

[rng_pw]

I have an acrylic tank with some scratches on it that I need to buff out. Most are fine scratches but there are a few deeper ones that you can feel. I need as much advice as possible. What material do I need? Is there a kit that I can buy? Thanks in advance.

I have the same project coming up with a 28g nano.

from what I have found for info all you really need is sandpaper. some videos I watched they started with an 800grit and finished with something like 3000grit
I am going to try the novus kit first
Amazon.com: Novus 8 oz Polish Kit, Plastic Cleaner, Polish & Scratch Remover: Automotive

The novus kit has worked great for me when polishing out my Frag Tank. I would try that one before anything else. An buffer reeeeeeeeeealy helps the process though.

Def get the kit. It comes with like 6 different papers or creams and a polish. Be patient and dont push too hard or go too fast. Read the directions. I think ur suppose to go in opposite directions with each change in paper, and gradually expand ur area to overlap. This is important. A buffer works great for the last polish step

Thanks for the advice guys. I made some decent progress tonight but my tank is a pain in the butt to buff out. It's 38 inches deep and only 10 inches wide so needles to say I had to get creative .
