Alternate use polishing applications

[stigg]

I have items around the house that I wish I could polish up like my clearcoat. I start to wonder... why not.



Like an acrylic counter top for instance... lots of fine swirls and scratches.

CDs that the kids have rendered unusable on way or another.



most of the plastic polishing products are just fillers when they are use by hand... Has anyone tried any of these things (or others) with a buffer like the flex or PC?

They have those cd repair machines but i'm not sure how they work whether they take off a small layer to even it out or add fillers to even it out. It seems like there should be a way to repair countertops and cds with a polish.

A few years back I had a very expensive Gibson guitar I was wanting to trade in but it had a pretty good size marring in it. Cleaners wouldn't cut it. A body shop friend of mine put polish and buffer to it. Came right out and looked extra perfect.



The cd thing, I know firsthand, all you need is toothpaste for most knicks that are fixable, and won't hurt it as long as you move your strokes one direction in a circle. On a junk cd I'd be willing to try polish.
