Do you know any tip to restore the area of a glazing where a drop of glue fell?  |

Jens Müller mentioned a very convincing method to me once. I don't remember the details but I'll ask him.

On models that have windscreen wipers moulded onto the glazing I usually remove these which leaves marks. I remove the marks by sanding them with ordinary sandpaper starting with grain 600 and ending with grain 1500. After sanding I polish the glazing with toothpaste (lots of ordinary household items can be used in modelling ;D) and finally Bare-Metal plastic polish. I don't know if this works for glue stains but it might be worth a try....  |

I had heard something about the toothpaste. Is interesting to know the grain of the sandpapers you use. I will try it.  I have restored another car of that lot of damaged models published in 87thscale.info Unfortunately the model (Porsche 928) had glue on the glazing and now I have a car with a brilliant body and an annoying mark on the window. |

Hello,
now I´m locked in and I can give you my advice. First of all I´ll sand the glazing with at least grain 600. The final sanding will be done with grain 1200. After that it looks completely awful - but now here comes my innovation: I use a plastic polish paste (for example for swatch watches or plastic windows of convertible hoods) and I polish them with a Q-tip or a polishing machine (Mini-Drill). The result looks very good but the qualitity depends on your throughness.
Kind regards
Jens

The plastic polish is like the polish for plastic bumpers? Or is a different product?
