1. If the surface is extremely dirty, apply NOVUS No. 1 liberally and wipe using long, sweeping strokes. Do not use pressure at this time or large dirt particles may scratch the plastic.
2. Re-apply NOVUS No. 1. Polish using short, circular strokes with a clean portion of the cloth.
3. When surface is thoroughly clean and uniformly covered, buff to a slippery glaze with a clean portion of the cloth. Surfaces buffed to a high glaze are more resistant to dust and future scratching.
4. Reapply NOVUS No. 1 regularly to maintain the antistatic, smudge and scratch resistant properties.

1. Observe condition of the surface to be treated. The deeper the scratches, the greater the pressure required to remove them. If the surface is dirty, clean with NOVUS No.1 before applying NOVUS No. 2.
2. Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
3. Apply NOVUS No. 2 liberally. Using a clean, soft cloth, polish with a firm back-and-forth motion at right angles to the scratches. Keep the cloth saturated with polish at all times.
4. When the worst scratches have been polished out, reapply NOVUS No.2 uniformly in a circular motion to the entire surface using short, circular strokes and light pressure. Allow to dry to a light haze.
5. Using a clean portion of the cloth, buff the surface to a slippery glaze using firm, short strokes. This procedure is imperative in achieving the best results.
6. For heavy scratches, multiple applications of NOVUS No. 2 or application of NOVUS No. 3 may be required.
7. Follow with NOVUS No. 1 for best results.

1. Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
2. Apply NOVUS No. 3 liberally. Using a clean, soft cloth, polish with a firm back-and-forth motion at right angles to the scratches. Keep the cloth saturated with polish at all times.
3. Continue polishing until only fine scratches remain. Using cloth, remove all remaining polish, this is very important!
4. Using a clean cloth, apply NOVUS No. 2 in a circular motion uniformly to entire surface. Polish using light pressure until NOVUS No. 2 dries to a light haze.
5. Using a clean portion of the cloth, buff the surface clean. Follow with NOVUS No. 1 for best results.

Best Boat Polish

NOVUS Plastic Polish is the best polish to use on fiberglass surfaces and nautical instruments on boats. Dan from California had trouble viewing the LCD screen on his boat’s Lowrance GPS unit for three years. It became cloudy and fogged up, making it challenging for him to enjoy his boating adventures.

After reading an ad for NOVUS Plastic Polish in a marine catalog, he ordered the Plastic Polish Kit. He discovered that the NOVUS 2 Fine Scratch Remover completely eliminated the obscurity from his GPS screen and he was once again able to view the unit with the same clarity it had when it was new.

Instead of replacing the whole GPS unit, which would have cost $1,000, Dan was able to restore it back to its original form at a fraction of the cost.

 

Restore Records Collection

Bob from Minnesota is a music enthusiast and he’ll be the first to tell you that record collectors are fussy about messing with their treasures. Discs can get scratched with repeated use and this affects not only the sound quality but also his enjoyment of golden tunes.

He has been using NOVUS Plastic Polish for over 10 years to enhance the condition of a 45 RPM disc without fear of lessening its value while trying to improve it. NOVUS 2 Fine Scratch Remover can vastly improve the sound and appearance of styrene discs that have considerable scuffing and groove damage. NOVUS 1 Clean and Shine is great for keeping turntable dust covers and stereo faceplates in excellent shape, as if you just picked it up from the store.

Tip 1: Prep and Clean for Polishing

First, assess if your plastic is eligible for polishing. Some plastics are coated with a thin film that may be damaged by abrasive chemicals in the polish. NOVUS 2: Fine Scratch Repair and NOVUS 3: Heavy Scratch Repair polishes are not recommended for use on coated plastics or eyeglass lenses.

Before attempting to clean or remove scratches, always make sure the plastic is cool to the touch. Use a liberal amount of plastic cleaner (NOVUS 1: Clean and Shine) to safely remove surface dust and dirt. In addition, test scratch removers in a small or inconspicuous area for compatibility.

The type of polishing cloth you use will make a difference. The ideal cloth is nonabrasive, absorbent and lint free. To eliminate any chance of scratching, use only disposable cloths. Reusable cloths can retain abrasive particles, but you won't know for sure until the damage is done. Use a soft cotton cloth and  avoid using polyester or rayon wipes which can scratch unprotected plastics.

 

Tip 2: Restore & Refinish

After ensuring your item is clean, apply NOVUS 2: Fine Scratch Repair liberally. Using a clean, soft cloth, polish with a firm back-and-forth motion at right angles to the scratches. Keep the cloth saturated with polish at all times; more pressure may be required on deeper scratches.

When the worst scratches have been polished out, reapply NOVUS 2: Fine Scratch Repair uniformly in a circular motion to the entire surfaces using short, circular strokes and light pressure. Allow it to dry to a light haze.

Finally, take a clean section of the cloth to buff the surface to a slippery glaze using firm, short strokes. This procedure is vital for achieving the best results.

For heavy scratches, multiple applications of NOVUS 2: Fine Scratch Repair or an application of NOVUS 3: Heavy Scratch Repair may be required.

 

Tip 3: Repair & Prepare

For acrylic items with heavy scratches, apply NOVUS 3: Heavy Scratch Repair liberally. Using a clean, soft cloth, polish with a firm back-and-forth motion at right angles to the scratches. Keep the cloth saturated with polish at all times and continue polishing until only fine scratches remain.

Before the next step, it’s important to use the soiled cloth to remove all remaining polish.

Then, select a clean cloth and apply NOVUS 2: Fine Scratch Repair in a circular motion uniformly to the entire surface. Polish using light pressure until it’s dried to a light haze, and then buff the surface clean using a new soft cloth.

If the damaged area is fairly large or badly damaged, a power buffer may be used with NOVUS 2: Fine Scratch Repair and NOVUS 3: Heavy Scratch Repair. Use a clean cotton bonnet and operate the buffer at a low speed to avoid overheating the plastic, approximately 1,000 RPM.

Each polish should be applied with a separate, clean bonnet. For best results, follow with NOVUS 1: Clean & Shine.
