scratchs in acrylic tanks

[LivingReef]

im trying to work out a deal with a guy for a 360 gallon acrylic tank and im pretty sure its going to have some scratchs i was wondering if you all knew of a way to remove the scratchs from them before i get it thanks

I know they sell kits to remove scratches from acrylic.

If the tank is empty I know where I use to work we would use Maguires medium cut polish, then fine polish and finally finished up with swirl remover all on a power buffer. If the scratches were pretty bad we would use wet sand paper I think it was either 1000 or 1500 grit. I can't remember. The guy who showed me was really good and you couldn't even tell. You just have to be really careful with the sand paper and not to burn the tank with the side of the buffer touching the tank. Good luck!

Look up user IAPJohn, he can lead you to removing your scratches, actually search the general forums. Edit, I found it!

If u need to do it with a full tank talk with ME35 he had some great success with removing some serious scratches and the tank looks amazing now! All done with a fully stocked tank too!
