Is this the correct grit/hardness to work on plastic? Specifically very light, superficial scratches on plastic eyeglass lenses and/or plexiglass.

I would say no but this would be too harsh for plastics of any kind. You would be better off using the polishes that are designed for like headlight lenses for cars.

This is a mild abrasive, it does not "fill in" scratches, it removes the material around the scratches and polishes. A lot of plastic lenses have been "coated" to make them scratch-resistant, and this will remove the coating. If your only other choice is to replace the lenses anyway, you could give it a try.

This is the smoothest tip I've ever seen. All I can say is from my own experience is that it GLIDES! I can't imagine how smooth it would be on just glass versus all of my extra protection. It's some kind of microfiber which always seems very soft to me. Since it doesn't seem to wear down like rubber I don't think you'd be in jeopardy of scratching your glass with the metal. It is kept clean by being able to click in. If you are really worried perhaps blowing on it to keep it clean before you use it. I don't really know what kind of glass you have but it is hard to fathom that this soft tip could scratch anything. It is really impressive. Hope that helped you.

The lens is molded optical plastic. This makes the magnifier lighter. The only down side is that the lens will scratch easier. But you should be careful with any optical device!

No. This is a mild abrasive designed to remove the buildup of sap, insect debris etc. If the glass is scratched, this won't work.

As long as you are applying it to glass, you're good. It can do weird things to plastic, and the directions say not to use it on plastic.

I've only used it so far on a vintage Rolex acrylic watch crystal with excellent results against a scuff. Only needed bottle #2. #3 appears to be much more gritty and should remove deeper scratches. I suppose it all depends how deep your scratches and scuffs are on your toys. The smaller size is so inexpensive that it's probably worth the try.

My husband said it is great on fiberglass, decals, & plastic lenses. Many other uses also. Another suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer.

It would remove scratches from uncoated glass or tempered glass lenses (dunno about plastic and polycarb). HOWEVER, by changing the thickness of the lens, it would alter its optical properties -- you could end up with a distorted view or a different prescription! I would NOT recommend using this or any polishing lroduct on eyeglass lenses.

I am not sure, I've only used in on glass items. Maybe micro waving the plastic glasses?

I have used this on both plastic and glass lights. Ive also tested it on chrome both metal and plastic dipped. Tested it on an old door window from a car and it worked well. When using it on chrome or glass be sure to put very lite coats and i recommend a clear coat for long lasting shine. Duplicolor clear works very good. Hope this helped

I checked the box and it doesn't say what the lens is made of. The lens appears to be a very good quality plastic that is polished. I don't think it would scratch easily. I am very happy with mine, it really helps with my detailed needlework. I hope this helps.

It is PMMA acrylic (trade names include Lucite/Plexiglass). Thickness comes it at 0.0800 inches. It is not as scratch resistant as glass but it is 17x more impact resistant. Acrylic is better than polycarbonate because polycarbonate is not UV resistant. No telling who the lens is made by.

Hey there,I have been using the eagle eyes clip-ons and have not scratched my lenses.There are rubberized tips on the clips to prevent damage to your lenses.

I never tried it on convertible windows as you described...However, I will say that it is the only cleaner/polish I have used that didn't scratch any type of plastic/clear window type material.Some of the plexi-type glasses require a special type of cleaner. However, I do not believe this one would cause any trouble for you.

Hi Grandor, yes I used it on plastic glasses that I used for decoration and it worked well.

I have used this polish with a high speed buffer on acrylic and plexiglas motorcycle windshields with good results. Who knows what your sunglass lenses are made of? It might be cheaper to replace the sunglasses.
