fer_abella 0 Posted April 14, 2005 Hi, I have one very light scratch in my video wide angle. The manufacturer says it is very easily cleaned with a light lens polishing it can do for 350$. A friend that retails uw housings says that it can be made almost disappear with a very well done light polihing at home. I am very reluctant to that idea but perhaps he is right. What do you think? <_< Do you ever saw this poslishing process made at home? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Hope 151 Posted April 17, 2005 If it's plastic then sure you can polish it at home. Use good old Brasso for deeper scratches, and finish (or polish lighter scratches) with Micro-Gloss from Micro-Surface Finishing Products Inc.. Assuming it's coated, you will lose the coating of the lens, which means your video will be a tiny bit duller (less depth/contrast than before). At first you'll just remove a patch of the coating around the scratch. Then you'll have to examine the video to see if the "edge" is visible. If it is then you'll have to remove the coating right across the lens, which will probably be at least a couple of hours' work. If the lens is glass then it probably needs to be done professionally.
