How's the tank look? I'm gonna have to buff out some scratches from a tank I just got.

Mines clear! The inside is the hardest thing... And trust me u have to do it over and over like 12 x slow process

i'm in the la/oc area...i can do it...is the tank filled with water, or empty? The only thing is...if it is full, no problem, but when you look it from the side, you may see haze on the panel, but looking at it from the front, clear as new...

I'm interested in getting an acrylic tank buffed out as well. Please send me some information or feedback if you find someone.

Just do it yourself. It's easy to do, just takes time depending what size area you need to polish. I just sanded and polished a couple of scratches out of a tank I just picked up. Took about 30 minutes

It depends how deep the scratches are. Sounds like you want to sand and polish the whole tank. For example, maybe start with 350 or 400 grit wet sandpaper, then 600, 1000, 1500, then finish finish off with novus 3 and novus 2. Depending on the size of the tank and the scratches it can take a whole day to get it completed if you need to do both inside and outside panels. Do a search on youtube so you have a visual tutorial.

Actually 24x24x12 shouldn't take too long to do. If you do all the vertical wall panels inside and out maybe 3-4 hours

I was surfing through Craigslist and found some guys offering scratch removal services. I typed in sps coral and they came up. Hope it helps.
