IMHO, i fyour intent on trying to get rid of any scratches, skip all
the home brew crap like mayo and wood ash etc etc, and buy a MIcro
Mesh polishing kit. It all depends on how deep scrates are and how
many so giving a length of time would be hard to do.. I used to do a
ot of acrylic repair on aircraft with real kits and its still not a 15
or 30 minute job, neither is it an hours job........it can take many
hours of rubbing and rubbing....Its not hard, its just very time
consuming......Yes they work if you use the proper abrasives in the
manner directed, skipping a grade here and there just sets you back
with much more rubbing. Its also possible if its done wrong, or the
scratches were deep to create an area that is distorted, due to
changing the thickness and inducing radius and edges, so distortion is
also a possibility........You wll pay a lot more money for a "aquarium
Scratch remover" kit than you will by buying a decent scratch removal
kit like MIcro Mesh........

I know you like glass better than acrylic.

I even know about toothpaste, mayo, and pole-barn-stove ash.

My question is: Has anyone actually used one of the scratch removal
kits for an acrylic aquarium? What kind, and did it work? How long
did it take (what size aquarium and how much did you do)? How
difficult was it? How were the results? Was it worth it?

Mine is currently empty and I am planning to fix some damage around the
bottom by (you guessed it) coralline algae.
