They shipped directly to me and I can attest that the products work. The trick is in trying to determine how deep your scratches actually are and use as light a grit as you can to remove it. Deeper the scratch..the more work needed to buff it out.

The Biocube 29 is glass. How bad is the scratch? If it is deep there is a risk of the glass breaking under pressure.

That is a cool link untamed thanks for the post

I am all over that as my 210 is 22 years old now and inevitably no where near as clear as I would like it to be.

I guess you looked into this after the triggers did there thing.

Yup...that is it exactly. I can tell you that it takes grit #6000 or #8000 to polish out trigger skin scratches! I'm still doing it, actually.

According to their website they are glass. Maybe the older ones are acrylic?
