light scratches on an acrylic glass

Is there any fix for a few light scratches on an acrylic glass (GMT master 1975) or do i need to send it back to Rollie?

a product called polywatch works wonders on plastic/acrylic crystals.

My AD will buff out light acrylic scratches in about two minutes at no charge...

It's usually pretty easy to use almost any good plastic polish as well.. Some here swear by "Polywatch"

Send it to me and I'll fix it for you, my friend!

Turn-over time is only a couple of years!

Polywatch and autosolve metal polish in a tube will all work well, just rub accross the scratch if its deep, brasso works too but a bit messy.
