Hello Advicenators: Newbie here. Seeing what else is out there besides JA. I bought some plexiglass off a lady on Craigslist. At her house it looked good. I thought there was a protective coating on it and she advertised it as clear. I got home and noticed it is "frosted" plexiglass. I am just doing a invention with this for my dog. Is there a way to modify the frosted plexiglass to make it appear clear or clearer? Thanks, Dzadzy (link)

It is possible to polish out significant scratchess and marring which have made plexiglass virtually opaque and restore it almost to its previous water-clear state. Using metal polish (brass and copper polish), or automotive chrome polish. If your frosting is etched into the surface you MIGHT be able to 'polish it clear'. I polished some headlight fairings on an old sportscar which had become almost 'sand-blasted' rough and opaque from high-speed motorway mileage once. They came up brilliantly clear, but it took just about a whole day to do it. It's an ACHINGLY slow process. If you have more than about a square metre of stuff to do you'll go crazy before you finish it I reckon!
