Rainbow Lifegard/Pentair Aquatics Scratch Removal Kit

Removes scratches from acrylic Aquariums.
Crystal pad, the sanding material in this kit, has been used to polish plastic surfaces for over 20 years in the aircraft industry. The abrasive crystals are cushioned within a thin soft resilient material. This cushion allows the large abrasive crystals to recede into the soft material creating an even cutting plane.
Can be used wet or dry.
Removes scratches even under water!
Includes 8 different progressive grades of crystal pads, sanding block, 3/4 oz. bottle of final polish liquid abrasive with anti-static agent, flannel cloth and molded plastic case.
Economical to use. Outlasts common abrasives up to 7 times in dry applications, and up to 15 times with wet applications.
Restores your acrylic aquarium to its original new luster!

It works great, but... by Koret

Comments: This a great product, but some advice might ease some pain. The acrylic of my 150 gallon tank developed many scratches over 17 years. I hated the idea of draining the tank to remove the scratches, but things were getting ugly. Most scratches were from magnetic algae blocks, where a piece of coral sand was accidently picked up and scratched the acrylic. I found this product and decided to try it wet with fish, corals and the rest of the critters in place. Here's what I found: 1. The most coarse sheet of sandpaper is too fine -- buy some 600 grit waterproof sandpaper at a hardware store to remove the heaviest scratches first. 2. Quite a bit of acrylic dust will cloud the water. Keep your filter running and do the scratch removal in sections. My coral polyps closed up from the acrylic dust, but everything came out just fine. Not one critter or fish showed any lasting effects. 3. I used a Tunze Power Magnet Cleaner -- 2 1/4 inches by 3 inches -- to hold the sandpaper sheets. Wrap a heavy rubberband around the edges of the sandpaper sheets to hold onto the magnet which goes inside the tank, and polish the acrylic with the other magnet from the outside. Some liquid acrylic polish sprayed on the outside of the tank made the magnets slip easier. This method was way easier than sticking an arm inside the tank to try to polish with the included foam block... 4. Move from the 600 grit waterproof sandpaper directly through all the grades of sandpaper that come with this kit. When I was finished, my tank looked better than new. I couldn't use the final liquid polish that came with this kit, but I didn't need it. Good product -- well recommended, and you don't need to drain your tank.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I found this product to be very useful. For the cost you cannot go wrong. Be advised that it takes time and patience. Patience is the key in this product and it is not included in the box.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
