Way to remove scratches on case window?

Curious is there a way to remove scuffs/scratches on case windows? Also is there a way to replace it if not? Is there a easy way to cut plexi glass?

Which I guess is what one would replace it with.

Home Depot or whatnot will probably cut a plexiglass piece for you, just give them the measurements... 🙂

can they cut one for a Thermaltake Xaser III Lanfire? The fan hole and mounting holes?

A can of clear coat wouldnt work would it?
 
If its plexyglass, toluene would work sinces it solvates it. Good luck finding it thanks to careless meth cooks.
 
You may want to try contacting Thermaltake and see if they can ship you out a replacement panel, though that might not be the most cost effective solution.
 
Try a site called Micro-Mark, theyhave tools for model building. They should have something called Novus scratch remover. I've used it on my acrylic aquariums works pretty good depending on the depth of the scratch.
 
I haven't worked on a case window per say but I've polished out scratches on things like CD's using ultra fine sand paper followed by buffing with a low grit polish like brass cleaner. Takes a little elbow grease but it works.

Good luck.

Meguiar's Plastic Polish - originally made for polishing out scratches in convertible top windows, motocycle helmet face shields and fairing windshields. Can find in auto parts stores that cater to import and motorcycle owners and motorcycle shops. In a pinch, you can try toothpaste or softscrub. Simichrome Poli might work too as it's abrasive is very fine, but it's made for metal and may be too harsh or have petrochemicals in it that might degrade the plastic.

hmmm... these are all great ideas. I have a couple of scratches on my window too, but I used that stuff auto mechanics use to repair broken windshields.
