The first picture is taken from the auction catalogue, the second after the gunk has been removed with a toothbrush, warm water and some washing up liquid, and the plexi has had a good going over with Autosan chrome polish. What was revealed is a really nice 2.7 mil 1680 just crying out to be loved.

Looks very nice! Many products that work on auto paint also work well on acrylic crystals. I use Simichrome polish followed up with Meguire's plastic polish.

Very nice. Have you got more details on how you polished the plexi? How long did it take and do you just move over the cyclops or avoid it?
