How To Remove Scratches Acrylic Tub

 
 
 
Because acrylic bathtubs are a solid surface, the color is the same throughout the entire acrylic sheet. It is not painted or sprayed on. If your bathtub should happen to scratch or dull, you can easily restore the appearance back to new.

Scratches and dulling can be removed with a liquid polisher such as Gel-Gloss or metal polish. Deep scratches or burns can be removed by use of very fine sandpaper and then finishing with a liquid polish.
