Bet your wife was thinking you had lost it.......

I believe her exact words were... "There's never a video camera around when you need one."

I have thought about polishing the counter tops in the bathrooms. :rofl:

Looks great. Now does anyone know how to remove paint spots from these clear shields. Some how I got some on mine and polishing will not take it off.

You could try claybar.

I've tried the clay bar, polishing, paint remover and nothing seems to work on this latex paint. Even a professional couldn't remove the spots.

Have you tried wet sanding or dry sanding it? You can easily polish out sanding marks from plastic.

Now there's a great possible solution. That's why I like these forums, it allows you to get advice from people who think outside the box. I'll have to give it a try. I'll pickup some fine wet sanding paper to to 3000 grit.

Thanks Bill.

Yeah, keep in mind that plastic is very soft... best practice would be to start with the least aggressive sandpaper and go with more cut as needed, then go back to less cut to finish before polishing.
