Saw this on late night TV:

Liquid Lense Scratch Remover

OK, it is for glasses, but I bet it would work like dandy on a flashlight lens.

I have not used it yet, but am going to order it for a perscription pair of sunglasses that are scratched.
 
Personally, I wouldn't be real confident in a product with a misspelling in its name. What exactly is a "lense"? Reminds me of a "creme" filled donut.

They sold the Ronco Inside the Shell Eggbeater on TV too. Now there was a great product.....
 
I saw a leader on a TV report about the product - it doesn't work. Plastic polishes with a bit of effort give pretty decent results.
 
I've seen it spelled this way a few times. Its not a British variation. And it is not a very accepted one. But it does get them a top spot on Google™ if you go along with spelling it this way.
I'd only be willing to try it on something I was going to throw out anyway, so why bother.

Now Ronco spray on hair, there's a product! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
I disagree with BightNorm. I have used toothpaste + water to fix Acrylic glasses and scrached CD's that would not play any more. It must be WHITE tooth paste, slightly diluted with water and gently applied with your index finger in slow circles. Must be kept wet. Trick is in the technique. If you used a rag or tissue to rub, you blew it.
White toothpaste is a polish. Flitz (not a toothpaste) however is the BEST polish for about anything.

I've always used Future Floor Wax to remove scratches on a lens, make shiny canopies or general shine for models and take out scratches on CDs. Once in a while I use it for its intended purpose, to have a pretty looking floor.
 
I find it interesting that the TV station in San Diego even said they didn't follow instructions yet said it was a falure. kinda like saying "I put batteries in the flashlight backwards from what the instructions said, our opinion is that the flashlight doesn't work"

According to the article, the instructions *were* followed:

Conrad followed the brief instructions provided by Liquid Lens by using the micro cleanser prep solution to clean the surface. Then, he applied the polymer in thin even strokes slightly overlapping each application with the next. After the lenses were coated he let them dry for 30 minutes.

The instructions say it takes up to 10 hours for the repair solution to completely cure, but after 30 minutes the glasses are dry to the touch and ready to judge.

What is odd is that they misspell the product name, calling it "Liquid Lens", (maybe in an attempt to correct the misspelling in the actual product name, but without regard to preserving the trademark.)
 
How about some clear coat safe scratch remover? I can't remember the brand I've been using, but it works ok on smaller scratches. It won't do anything for deep scratches though. There is also a scratch remover made for plastic that works well. Check out your local auto parts store. Plexus is a great lens cleaner as well.
 
Yes I was but here is the jist: Liquid and wax FILL in the scratch. POLISH erases it (Like Titanium dioxide in tooth paste). Wax and fill don't last. Scratch gone = scatch gone. Every CD or plastic cover I fixed with tooth paste STAYED fixed. Careful technique while polishing is important. Wax or fill you just pour on.....

Flitz is a real POLISH. Water it down and go slow and be careful. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon8.gif
