What? That isn't accurate. I routinely remove scratches from my acrylic all the time. Every couple of years I polish entire panels.

I do think anything can be polished, but do we want to drain a tank for this. I for one do not.... Also polishing does remove material, in time maybe creating a weak point.

I was told for glass they use something called a Rose Wheel... I may be incorrect, but this is what I recall.

You are correct Rick, it is called a rose wheel, I asked about it at Concepts. I do know that glass can be polished and it can be very expensive. I was refering to the part about polishing acrylic was told it could not be done but I stand corrected TWICE
