VuPlex - Plastic Cleaner & Polish 235ml
Protect and restore clear acrylic and coloured acrylic plastic with Vuplex.
Our recommended cleaner for plastic
Vuplex is a highly effective plastic polish that makes coloured plastics vibrant, clear plastics virtually transparent and plastic paints gleaming like new. Vuplex is a product which delivers fast quality results with minimal effort and fuss. It also protects new plastic from scratches and grime and restores plastic which has fine scratches and in ground grime.
Vuplex is ideal for use with acrylic splashbacks, acrylic boat windows, acrylic secondary glazing and any other type of acrylic. (It also works well on polished metals, glass, mirror, stone and granite.)
How VuPlex - Plastic Cleaner & Polish 235ml works:
- Ingredients are safe – they won’t damage plastic surfaces.
- A fine coating of wax is applied giving your acrylic plastic surface protection from micro scratching and atmospheric conditions that cause a break down of clarity over time.
- VuPlex effortlessly removes stains that other cleaners won’t touch, by applying a micro-layer of protectant, sealing the porous surface.
- Water and other contaminates are repelled from the surface giving added protection. The residual film is also safe on food preparation surfaces.
- The anti-static properties help to repel dust and abrasive materials.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cleaning Acrylic
How can I clean acrylic?
We suggest simply using warm soapy water and a soft cotton cloth. Any chemical cleaner should be avoided as it is likely to damage the acrylic. If you would like to use a cleaning product, we suggest our specialist acrylic cleaner and polish Vuplex.
How does Vuplex work?
Vuplex works using five functions in one quick action:
- It cleans using safe ingredients that won’t damage plastic surfaces.
- It applies a fine coating of wax that gives the surface protection from micro scratching.
- The wax acts as a barrier against water (hydrophobic) and other atmospheric conditions that cause ageing and a breakdown of clarity.
- Static that builds up on the plastic surface and attracts abrasive material such as dust is controlled by Vuplex’s anti-static properties.
- Vuplex polishes to a high shine and restores the lustre and new look to the surface. The finish is not sticky or greasy and can be achieved in mere seconds.
How should acrylic splashbacks be cleaned?
Acrylic splashbacks can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cotton cloth. Most splashbacks will be seamless — just wipe them clean with water, with no worry about bacteria being trapped in grout.
No chemical cleaning products should be used on acrylic as this will lead to damage. Alternatively, we recommend Vuplex for a shiny, cleaner, more lustrous finish with no smears or smudges. It makes coloured plastics vibrant, clear plastics virtually transparent, and plastic paints gleaming like new. Vuplex also protects new plastic from scratches and grime and restores plastic which has fine scratches and ingrained dirt.

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
