    hi all, this is my first post here so forgive me if this is the wrong section for this thread. I just purchased a Wm-10II and the front plastic has the same texture as the inside of the case. It’s pretty cloudy and feels rough. I was wondering what y’all would recommend to polish it back to how it looked from the factory? I don’t want to replace it if I don’t have to. The machine works beautifully but the plastic really bugs me. I really don’t want to mess up the plastic worse than it already is.

    If the printing is on the inside, you might be able to use something like Novus Polish on the outside, the printed side will have to be cleaned with extreme care, just about anything will also clean off the printing.

    Nothing :biggrin:
    It is not possible to make it exactly the way it came out of factory, but you can work on it to make it looks nice.
    first of all be careful not use any cleaning material on the printed side (inside the walkman) use just a wet towel for cleaning inside.
    For the exterior part or face of the acrylic plastic use "novus" blue color as @Mister X recommended. This material is good for cleaning dust can give you the shinning pattern on acrylic
    If there is scratch on acrylic you need another material after cleaning with blue navus:

    For minor scratches: first clean with blue then apply red navus ( color of bottle)
    for deep scratches : first clean with blue then apply green navus

    You can get a kit of all 3 bottles from Amazon :

    I have tried them many times and the result is good.

    Another option is to use toothpaste on a clean soft cloth and polish the acrylic in circular pattern.

    You can also use PolyWatch Polish to clean and polish the acrylic
