Yep, ToothPaste is a very fine abrasive for cleanup and polishing many
things including plastics like plexiglas and lexan.

Need a hole through glass? Here's a little trick for you.

Get yourself and electric eraser - the kind used by draftsmen. Install
one of the erasers which have a little fine grit. Apply toothpaste to
the surface of the glass. Turn on the erasure, press the spinning rubber
tip against the glass through the pile of toothpaste. Stop once in a
while and smear the toothe paste back over the spot where you are
running the eraser. Keep this up and eventually you will have a hole
through the glass. Handy if you are trying to run a tube into an
aquarium or something.
