This is a loaded question, which is not easily answered. Acrylic does have the ability to scratch if it is abused and not cared for properly. Acrylic is a softer glazing material than glass, which can also scratch. That is why we recommend Brillianize Cleaner, which is recommended for all reflective surfaces including glass. We also recommend soft, re-usable cloths such as a Wypall rather than paper towels, which are abrasive.
