BECKSON Clear Pry-out Deck Access Plate: Removing Fogging and Scratches

Postby Don SSDD » Wed May 25, 2022 2:02 pm

How can fogging and scratches in a BECKSON clear circular pry-out deck access plate be removed?

I tried Plastx by Meguiar's, but it doesn’t work on this material.

Thanks,
Don

The BECKSON clear pry-out deck access plates used typically to cover the fuel tank access point where the fuel tank level gauge is located can still be obtained from the OEM supplier for $38. That includes a new surround ring and the pry-out plate. I do not believe BECKSON sells just the clear pry-out plate.

Very good Jim, that is a great deal for $38 these days. Thanks, Don

Don - Consider wet sanding?

What’s the process Phil? Not experienced but can take a crack at it.

It is similar to woodworking.

Start with a grit and work finer. I would start at 1000 grit, then step up to 1500 and then finish at 2000.
