NOVUS-PK1-2 | Plastic Clean & Shine #1, Fine Scratch Remover #2, Heavy Scratch Remover #3 and Polish Mates Pack | 2 Ounce Bottles

I'm going to review this product from an application many have not used in these reviews, but I imagine many have come here hoping they had - restoration of toy plastic. I purchased this product with the intent to restore an old Kenner Batmobile (Batmissile) vehicle. It had a number of quite visible scratches and blemishes on the vehicle including one spot where I had tried to wet sand it leaving a ugly haze of scratches effectively ruining the sheen. So this product had allot cut out for it in terms of making this vehicle look good again. I hate saying this because I sound like a damn info commercial but this stuff is miraculous. Between the number 3 and number 2 applications I completely removed every scratch and blemish on this car. And I do mean EVERY SINGLE SCRATCH including that haze of scratches I left from using a abrasive pad on the surface. It looks better than brand new. But there's something missing in these ads for the product that you need to know if you want to make this stuff work at its utmost best - Elbow grease and multiple applications. These scratches took some effort getting there so it took some effort getting them out. I had to go over the hood portion three times with the #3 solution and then start buffing with #2 before I saw definitive results. If you think you're going to get there like your wiping a window, you're mistaken. And I imagine some of the people disappointed here were led to believe that's all that was needed. Not so. Think about it like you're buffing your car. You have to apply some pressure and do some serious rubbing until it dries then repeat. Use a cloth for each tube. Do not use the same one for multiple bottles. #3 takes down the deep scratches while #2 works on the surface ones. #1 is a cleaning agent to finalize the process and remove any residual application. I even took an old GI Joe windshield from an Adventure Team helicopter that was scratched and weathered and restored it to like new. This stuff works folks, but you HAVE to put some work into them. Now like anything, common sense has to be applied here. If you have a half inch cut in plastic, you're not going to "wipe" that away. But if its something on the surface that even leaves a bit of texture to the touch, this will take it off and leave a beautiful sheen afterwords. It's great stuff and I'm going to start using it on all my old Mego vehicles and essentially anything that fits the bill of being worn out plastic. So if you have old plastic collectible toys that have these problems? THIS is your stuff. It will restore them to like-new condition and I NEVER thought I could say that about any product. Give it a try and remember to put some elbow grease into it. You'll get the results you're looking for.

I recently got a really good deal on a Galaxy Note 8.0. tablet. The reason was the lens cover for the camera had major scratches, really deep and the photos came out as if you had a “soft lens” on it. Like for 1980’s glamour photography. Usually you can just replace the plastic lens cover, I have done it before on a galaxy S4 phone. So I bought it and after much searching found no lens covers for sale that would work for the Note 8. Only choice was to buy the entire back case, for too much money. So onto Amazon I went looking for something to polish the lens cover. I have up-loaded a photo showing the before and after, it is a pretty dramatic difference. First off, I read many of the reviews for the NOVUS Plastic Polish and saw many that said they never even used the #3 Heavy Scratch Remover. I think because of the amount of scratches I had, this was the one that really removed the deep scratches and the haze. At first I tried to use the cloth that came with it, and just my finger, I started with #2 thinking #3 would be too harsh, but I soon realized that this way was not going to do it. Or maybe it would have worked but it would take many, many hours of rubbing. I used my Ryobi 5 in. Random Orbit Sander, and a cotton cloth cut to fit on it. I really don’t think you could achieve what I did with out one, the whole process took about 45 minutes. I taped up the back cover with painter tape to protect it while buffing. I had to run it in short sets, like 30 seconds a full speed then stop and make sure the lens cover was not getting too hot. I would add a very small amount of water to the cloth then some more #3. But slowly I could see the outer edges of the scratched area getting smaller and smaller. I kept the process up until almost all of the haze was gone, there was a small spot (size of a pin head) on the outer edge that would not effect the camera’s image. I then changed out the cloth and began the process again with the #2. There were noticeable swirl marks from the #3 but still much clearer than it had been, I would have been happy with that. But after the 3rd stop to add dabs of water and more #2, the small spot that was left over from #3 was gone. I kept it up until it looked like nothing was changing; it was not getting any clearer. I removed the painters tape, and started the clean-up process. Peeling the tape up and using the #1 cleaner on the back of the tablet and ending with the lens cover. The results were way more than what I expected, the lens cover was polished and shiny, the camera’s photos looked great. Even the decorative metal ring that is around the lens cover was shining. So to wrap it up the NOVUS Plastic Polish is capable of amazing results, but you might need to have some other tools to really get the most out of it, namely a random orbit sander or a small buffer. The RYOBI sander I used does 12,500 orbits per minute, if you moved your finger once every second across the area you wanted to polish, it would take a person 3.5 hours to do what this sander does in 1 minute. Or 5 minutes using a sander would be the equivalent of 17.5 hrs by hand.

Very good product when using on plastic turntable dust covers. Takes out about 75% of the scratches. There are still very fine hairline scratches after going through the prescribed scratch removal process. If trying to take out deep nicks / scratches, a more aggressive scratch removing process is needed (i.e. using various grit sand paper vs. this 3 stage liquid kit.). Otherwise, this kit is a fine product for minor to medium hairline scratch removal.

Great results..easy to use.

Exellent polishing kit for acrylic, my tank was badly scratched but with a bit of sanding and polishing it came up like new

Ero molto scettico sinceramente ma mi sono ricreduto al 100%. Ho usato i 3 prodotti con il panno uscito in confezione per rimuovere i graffi da un coperchio di un vecchio giradischi e dalla parte "lucida" di una PS4 che ormai presentava il peso degli anni, e incredibilmente sembrano oggetti quasi nuovi! Ovvio che non fa miracoli, ma il risultato è davvero ottimo e non gli davo una lira, ma per fortuna ho voluto provare. Ho cominciato applicando il prodotto blu numero 1 per pulire un po' la superficie, poi asciugato, poi applicato il verde numero 3 e strofinato bene e asciugato, e devo dire che a primo impatto non ero molto felice perché si vedevano ancora un bel po' di graffi, ma evidentemente è molto utile perché poi si applica il prodotto rosso numero 2 che ha praticamente eliminato ogni tipo di graffi, persino uno davvero grande e profondo che non è scomparso ma si vede molto molto meno, strofinato bene e asciugato; dopodiché finire applicando di nuovo il numero 1. Inoltre da aggiungere che sono anche profumati, pensavo puzzassero essendo prodotti chimici ma invece hanno davvero un piacevole odore. Ottimo!!!

Useful for polishing 3d printed resin objects
