Duraglit will polish out deeper scratches, Iused to fabricate the canopies for premature-baby incubators..that's what we used after trimming with a router,sanding with fine wet-or-dry, buffing on a mop and finally hand-finishing with Duraglit.
We used the American Oroglas (same as the Bell "whirlybirds" bubble canopy) It was softer and more malleable than ICI's Perspex which was brittle by comparison

Asides- Oroglas featured in the infamous Summerland leisure centre blaze on the Isle of Man...the building was entirely glazed with it and melting/burning sheets flopped out of their frames onto the trapped holiday makers below.

being bored one day, i noticed a wasp taking an unhealthy interest in some discarded Duraglit wadding.....trapping a wasp in a vending -cup and feeding a fresh piece of wadding in, one observed the wasp in a feeding frenzy, followed by total disorientation and death...they must have got drunk on the solvent-content, 'cos with a bit of practice, one could tip'em iut on the bench and watch their antics until they eventually recovered sufficiently to lurch into the air*
