 Removing Scrapes/Scratches On Clear Vinyl
Is there anything out there that will remove or hide scrapes/scratches on clear vinyl? Clear vinyl not clear coloured vinyl.
I have two pieces with tiny scrapes. I can live with them, but if there's something out there that I could buff them with or something or other...

I use rough sandpaper... that way you don't notice the slight scuffs anymore.

 Re: Removing Scrapes/Scratches On Clear Vinyl
Also for clear vinyl, is there a way to make clear vinyl clear again? Some of the ones I purchased came as slightly browning color. Sorry to deviate, I have Dororu mini rabbit that is starting to blemish from possibly the weather? It's been in the toy cabinet so not sure why only this one is blemishing. This is not a scrape but looks like its from the vinyl itself. Anyone know a solution?

 Re: Removing Scrapes/Scratches On Clear Vinyl
Thanks for all of the help from the peanut gallery...
I will try sandpapering it and then painting it while blindfolded.
Thanks again.

 Re: Removing Scrapes/Scratches On Clear Vinyl
i use a Mcguires Plastx to get minor scratches out of clear resin figures...it's made for plastics and i've never tried it on vinyl. i don't really know how much help that is. i would try the sandpaper blindfold painting test first tho.
