The question is, -
What might be the best material options to polish up a Helicopter bubble?
I am thinking of a real buffer pad with a real buffer which I am way too familiar with, and some 3 M polish compound.
What do you guys polish a canopy with?
I have polished a lot of acrylic but not polycarbonate. You can search and if there are not a bunch of cautions regarding poly then the usual polishing compounds used with a relatively slow buffer will produce fantastic results. The key is to not get the surface too hot that it starts to move and distort.

I find that only a dedicated polisher does that, not a variable speed angle grinder.
