Re: Polish out scratches in blue filter
|
I have not responded until now. I do/have used toothpaste as well to finish (not gels but regular tooth paste) with good results. However, I have now started using the headlight de-oxide products from the auto part store. I don¡¯t have a recommended brand as I have used a couple and both worked well. ? I did however see the comment that plastic polishes don¡¯t work on the particular blue filter mentioned. That said, I have used the de-oxide for head lights on all colors for the 7000 series ones I work on with no issues for any colors and excellent results. ? Finally as a kid my mother used a product called Glass Wax. I have been looking for some as my thoughts are it would make a great finisher/sealer. ? I suppose that is my biggest reason for finally responding. After whatever method people use to remove scratches. Are any applying a sealer of any kind and if yes what are you using? Rob

I found out the hard way with another Tek scope that you can easily make problems worse if you try to remove scratches with a plastic polish, so I am cautious. There appear no sources of NOS blue filters out there. Anybody know of any that wouldn't come up in Google? Or, a sure-fire way to polish out scratches from these blue filters?
