About this deal
Concur, I tried it many moons ago and it caused crazing in the transparency. I haven't tried the Meng/DSPIAE glass files on a transparency, but using them on opaque plastic makes it go very shiny. @Gorby the Tamiya polishing compounds are the way to go -if you can find them.

The blue cap "fine" deepens the reflections, and the white cap "finish" is sort of a detailer; and it's the most expensive and not really necessary. Darker colors need the most attention.
