Post DIY question (sorta).
yo so i'm totally useless with shit like this, any help?

basically i got one of the kaws bus stop sets about a year ago in the mail from the UK. i don't know what happened (it was new) but basically the clear plastic part has scratches all over it. what's the best way to buff them out/get rid of them? is it possible without it going 'cloudy' or fucking it up even more?

there are lots of commercially available products for this, but the problem is, there are thousands of kinds of plastics. finding the right one will be hardest, but most will probably tell you on the label what they work best for.

look in weird places like electronics stores or auto stores. There seem to be a lot online, but if you know of a good place and aren't too embarassed, it might be good to take it into a store that sells them and ask for their advice.

this guy restored his ipod nano (incudling screen) with Brasso

which is not really a plastic polish, but did beautifully on this screen!
