Getting rid of scratches not sure but cleaning use a microfiber cloth

Turtlewax?

or check out @GloriousPain post 

There's one that's in a red kit..starts with an M.. Lemme go Google it.

 

FOUND IT! Meguiars branded headlight restoration stuff worked way better than Turtlewax did.

microfiber cloth

In the case of the enthoo luxe, micro fiber cloth will scratch it and leave smudges all over it. I don't know of any other cases that do this so you should be fine with a microfiber cloth UNLESS you have a phanteks case. My enthoo luxe was cleaned better with an electronics wipe.

Yeah Phanteks uses a certain type of accrylic (Can't remember it it's a really weird scientific name) it's a bit cheaper which is why they're cases are so cheap but OP specifically stated he had an H440 from NZXT so he should be fine...

If your looking to remove scratches the Novus plastic polish is really good, but in general acrylic will get micro scratches fairly easy unless it's the harder optiplexi acrylic.

Well, that explains a lot. At this point I'm really tempted to toss the stock windows

If you do, please let me know how it goes. I'm also really tempted to toss them and get some new ones but have never really done a case mod like that before.

Well, not that it matters, ummm, long story short, my Enthoo Primo was declared dead today... Long story short I had it powder coated, certain sections of it don't fit back together properly, other sections are warped, and I maybe broke one of those side windows in the process... Well, shit, that's all I have to say

 

For what it's worth, the brushed aluminum sections, came out spectacularly. The black wrinkle finish looks awesome, and the pieces go back into place, perhaps a little tighter, but they still fit

Headlight polish, brand doesn't matter too much. Give it a few passes with a microfiber cloth, then use some screen wipes on it when you're done.

You're and your are not the same. Neither are their, there, and they're. Defiantly and Definitely are definitely not the same. Definately and Rediculous are not words, and you should feel bad for misspelling them. If English is your first language, you don't have a learning disorder, and you get any of these wrong, you are making the entire forum slightly dumber by doing so. Please take the extra three seconds to type properly, and have a nice day.
