Refurbing polycarbonate windows??

[nathan87]

Is there a way of refurbing polycarbonate windows?

It looks as if they've got a sun tan lol

They might be bronze poly's? lol

Try some brasso, if they're scratched up/yellowed.

ammonia based cleaners, like brasso will not help, they can eat into the surface. i think its a case of chucking them & getting new ones. maybe if you can find a decent plactic deoxidiser, from somewhere like a boat supplies place, you might clean them up

[MK999]

Odd, because the last set of windows I saw that were scratched to **** came up perfect with brasso, which is a fantastically cheap alternative to buying new ones.

just machine polish them

I'll try in a corner with each of the above at the weekend and I'll let you know how I get on and see who's worked best ;)

[MK999]

Ooooh a competition :d

I'm sure I've had good results with brasso too. Obviously melts it just enough to smooth out any scratches

[Andy]

Cif would be alright aswell

[MK999]

Cif leaves anything dull as it's quite gritty, from what I've seen anyway, great for cleaning but not so much for 'polishing' a fine surface.

people.. the op's not got scratching, but oxidisation. if the screen has gone 'suntanned' it is breaking down & getting brittle. shed windows do the same & they are pretty much beyond saving when they go brown

I'll give that a go, they're not so much sun tanned, they look more frosted if that makes sense

[novathere]
