Anyone know if there is anything you can do to get light scratches out of polycarbonate lenses?

Thanks,
Mike
 
WARNING- THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR SPECIFIC LENSES and THE VAPORS MAY KILL YOU.

Ahem, now with that said, I have seen experts remove scratches from ANNEALED, UNCOATED optical polycarbonate using the vapors from boiling Methylene Chloride. However, the "hardcoat"applied to most polycarbonate lenses tends to interfere with this method.

There are scratch repair kits for aviation visors and canopies that might do a good job for you.
 
Light scratches....
Wax. Furniture, floor, car or whatever.

A very light buffing with fine abrasive, such as plastic polish, chrome polish etc and then wax often saves lenses....

BUT; if you over do it you change the contour of the lens.
