Abstract:
1. A method for restoring optical clarity and light transmission properties to a plastic surface damaged by scratching and/or UV-induced oxidation, comprising: providing at least one abrasive composition including abrasive particles dispersed in a liquid or gel carrier, the abrasive composition being initially manufactured and stored in a substantially oxygen free environment, wherein the abrasive composition comprises abrasive particles selected from the group consisting of polishing abrasives with a grit size in a range of about 50 microns to about 400 microns and lusterizing abrasives with a grit size in a range of about 10 microns to about 60 microns; treating a damaged plastic surface by applying the at least one abrasive composition to the plastic surface to remove scratches and/or UV-induced oxidation from the plastic surface; and protecting the treated plastic surface from UV damage by applying to the treated plastic surface a UV protective composition that includes a UV-protective material, a solvent, and a polymer or polymerizable material.
