Thoughts on these acrylic polishing kits

[Mr Pleco]

Looking for opinions from anyone who has polished an acrylic aqauarium and whether or not they used one of these kits?

Not crazy about using the algae magnet to apply even pressure to a very large area. I find it's better to use a block and hand sand/polish like the second one.

Had you seen this one? http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47496

I had excellent results with the Novus acrylic polish compounds.

If you have a buffer, use it! But carefully.

I did my tank by hand. Took me about 9 hours. Hand cramps.

Thanks to both of you for your response and the link
