If you have a lot of scratches to work on or just have frequent scratch 
problems, it's probably going to be lots cheaper to get the polishing 
compound in "raw" form. It can be bought as "Novus Plastic Polish" from 
http://www.usplastics.com. About $4-7 (depending on coarseness -- there are 
three grades) for an 8 ounce spray bottle. The stuff is fairly easy to use, 
I've used it myself on some polycarbonate sheets, but it will work just as 
well and is rated for use with acrylics.
