They sell scratch kit removers for acrylic, its pretty easy to do but just a bit time consuming.

Uh, no... don't take a heat gun to anything... especially underwater
Kronic... you have to be a little more specific to get a better/proper answer. Where is the scratch, inside or outside of tank? What kind of scratch, fine hairline barely visible but bugs me kind of scatch or deep enough to catch a fingernail in, like what some people might instead call a gouge? Steve

I have a load of micro scratches in mine, the guy who had it before me used some sort of abrasive cleaner, possibly for glass. i bought the novus#2 and a cheap buffer from home depot and it took out alot of the little scratches, if you have a larger deeper scratch go with the #3 and then the #2. It's really easy to use but I wouldnt want to do it by hand I know that.
