If they are not too deep you can use a car clear polish. 3M makes one called liquid polish, that works well on like bug shields, tail lights, etc. It is white. If they are deep, it wont get them. Use a polisher on slow. If the lex gets too hot it will make it worse. I use water to cool mine with. Don't use rubbing compounds, as they are too coarse. Jack

Not to sure about Lexan,....but contact your nearest TAP Plastics as they do carry an assortment of scratch removers/polishes for acrylics.

One trick we have used to remove scratches is to use a heat gun to soften the lexan this will fill most of them.Of course you cannot have vinyl on it .Try it on scrap first too much heat will give you a clump of plastic.
