The UWL-04 has hard coating. If you polish it things will get worse

I had that same lens some years ago, before using Aquatica domes, housings, etc. I've had great luck with Novus with both.

I have seen those old Flickr sets of some of the repairs. The small scratches were still there and now you have a lens without the coating that will scratch more. The UWL-04 has got quite a few issues with aberrations and I would leave it be. But good luck with polishing it if you go for it

Novus and micro mesh are for acrylic and the UWL-04 dome is not acrylic is hard coated plastic
Camera shops that sell those kits in UK don't recommend use on coated surfaces

Thinking I'll leave it alone.......Take very little video & so far it hasn't bothered my stills....Thanks everyone for your input(s)...

What you can do is to try and orient the lens so that the scratch goes on the vertical axis and maybe it gets pages out the field of view
