When I crash it takes a pair of lexan scissors to repair it, no cleaner will do... :oops: :lol:

Parma's current FaShine product is similar to SpeedWax. I wanted to know more about the product, so I emailed Parma Support. I thought I might as well share the info with everyone including the O.P. Turns out it's not a polish at all, just a lexan cleaner.
Hello there, I'm interested in knowing more about your product, Fashine (Part # 40203). What is it made of (if you're able to disclose this info), and how does it work? Most lexan/acrylic polishes such as the Novus line of products use a very fine abrasive. Does this as well?

It does not have abrasive additives. Liquid only like a cleaner. SK

Thanks for your reply, SK. So, is it even technically a polish? Can it remove, for example, minor scratches?

No ,it is really like a wax. It will help hid scratches ,but not take them
out. Give me your address I will ship you a bottle that I have on my desk
for free. SK
So, there it is. It's not a polish at all, as it won't remove scuffs or scratches, only act as a surface cleaner. I was wrong in my assumption it was something more; i.e. a super-fine abrasive polish, but it's not. At least I'll get a sample to try out, talk about good service! :)

OK, so I have this lexan body that has some scuffing on the top of it. Minor, but still noticable. I know it was mentioned that rubbing compound was used successfully to remove scuffs, but more specifically, what brand and formula was used to do this? I don't want to go to Auto zone and get some crap that will eat the lexan for lunch. I would like to pick something off of the shelf that I know people have had success with? Can anybody help me out?

I helped a friend that owned a body shop and saw him using 3M Perfect it on plastic tail lights. Worked really well. Unfortunately a bottle of that stuff is evidently worth it's weight in gold. Wonder if it would work on Lexan?

I have used the 3M Perfect on them on plastic and tail lights but yes it is expensive just dont over heat it with the buffer. you can also use a terrycloth towel and do it by hand.
