Do I have an acrylic crystal?

I think so, but wanted to be sure before I try to give it a polish (I have some Novus 2 that I hear will do the trick nicely)

DJ model R1601333 (full no. on the warranty is R16013338B6252)
Serial 9.8 mill

THanks!

Most people don't have a buffing machine lying around though...

Give it a go by hand!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I think I'll give it a go by hand first, and see how it turns out.

Thanks again - a dab of Novus 2 applied with a microfibre cloth worked wonders!
