I have a scratch on my new dome-port.
Witch reflects sunlight.

Any advice on how to polish it.

is it an acryl or glas dome port?

with acryl you got pretty good chances to fix that problem. just do a search with google on
acryl polish and you will find some products. I have once polished an acryl dome, but can’t
remember with what?

I’ve used the Micromesh kit to remove really bad scratches and although it is a slow process, it does work and is much cheaper than a new dome!
