What grit for Lexan scratches?

Lexan can become cloudy after sanding if the grit sequence is too coarse.

Answer

For Lexan scratches, wet sand with 1000, 1500, 2000, and 3000, then polish.

Why it happens
Lexan is polycarbonate, so clear-surface repairs need fine wet sanding and polishing.
Recommended grit
Use 1000, 1500, 2000, and 3000 before polishing.
Wet or dry
Wet.
Success check
The Lexan has a uniform fine haze before polishing.

What to do

  1. Clean the Lexan surface.
  2. Wet sand with 1000 for light scratches.
  3. Refine with 1500, 2000, and 3000.
  4. Polish after sanding.
Avoid: Do not start with coarse grit on clear Lexan.
