if the surface shows a number of minor scratches, it is possible to remove or reduce most of them by applying
a suitable polish by hand. Use a small pad of soft grit-free cloth. Several applications may be necessary, but
the majority of scratches can be reduced and visibility markedly improved within a relatively short time.

To protect the surface and to fill in minor hairline scratches, a coating of wax is applied again with a soft
clean cloth. A waxed surface is easier to keep clean, and to a certain extent resist further scratching. Apply
a thin film of wax and bring to a high gloss by rubbing with a large pad of soft clean cloth.

Caution: Rapid changes in temperature should be avoided (i.e., moving from warm hangar to extreme cold)
which will cause rapid contraction and breakage. Allow fifteen minutes after Plexiglas has cooled before
starting engine. Vibration increases the possibility of breakage during cooling.
