plastic display cases

[shadowbeast]

Anyone who uses plastic display cases eg. Imex or the ones available from Daiso Japan, is there a polish you can get to arrest the formation of the matt finish on top? The slightest dust and that patch of matt seems to be there forever.

I don’t know about those cases but some Novus plastic polish might work for you. That and a polishing kit like those ones sold at Micro-Mark. Use the kit first, wet polishing like you would a canopy, changing water and rinsing the plastic between grits. Rinse again and use the Novus, rinsing after you’ve finished. I have fixed a few canopies and polished pieces to get ready for metallizers using this method. Unless the cases are some soft plastic, I can’t imagine this approach wouldn’t work.

I hope this helps.
