<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2063642, member: 66"]All of these polishing compounds work on the same principle, a fine abrasive suspended in a slightly viscous liquid. The larger the size of the abrasive particle the faster it cuts and removes larger scratches faster. But it also creates scratches of its own dulling the surface. But if a coarser abrasive is followed by using a finer one it polishes away the heavier scratches. That is why you will find some plastic polishing kits have two or three different grades of polishing compound.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people mention toothpaste, it would work on heavier scratches because it is a coarser abrasive, but it would need to be followed with a finer abrasive polishing compound,</p><p><br /></p><p>Think of it like woodworking. When you start sanding your project you don't start with 600 grit, you start with 100, then 220, then 400 etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
