A hand held apparatus for the vapor polishing of plastic surfaces by movement of the apparatus over a plastic surface to be polished includes a body portion defining a vaporizing chamber. A container for plastic solvent, such as methylene chloride, is mounted on one side of the body for flow of solvent into the chamber when the apparatus is positioned with the container disposed above the chamber, with the solvent flow being interrupted when the apparatus is inverted to dispose the container below the chamber. A thermostatically controlled electric heating element is disposed in the chamber for vaporizing the solvent. An open-end guide tube projects from the opposite side of the body and is in fluid communication with the chamber. The guide tube opens downwardly when the apparatus is positioned with the container disposed above the chamber for directing the vaporized solvent to the plastic surface to be polished. The body portion is provided with a handle for movement of the apparatus relative to the plastic surface.
