Plastic Clean & Shine No.1
Gently cleans all plastics without scratching. Leaves a lustrous shine that resists fogging, repels dust, and eliminates static.
- Resists finger print marks
- Contains no abrasive or harsh chemicals
- Leaves a smooth, clean, greaseless shine
- Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
- If the surface us extremely dirty, apply NOVUS No. 1 liberally and wipe using long, sweeping strokes with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth immediately. Do not use pressure because dirt particles may scratch the plastic.
- Reapply using short, circular strokes with a clean portion of the cloth.
- 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.
- Reapply NOVUS No.1 regularly to maintain the antistatic, smudge and scratch resistant properties.
FINE SCRATCH REMOVER No.2
Removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions from most plastics. With repeated use, NOVUS No. 2 restores faded and discolored plastics.
- Removes the damage instead of filling it in
- Buffs out quickly
- After restoring, seals with a coat of polish
- 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.
- Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- For heavy scratches, multiple applications of NOVUS No. 2 or application of NOVUS No. 3 may be required.
- Follow with NOVUS No. 1 for best results.
Heavy Scratch Remover No.3
Removes heavy scratches and abrasions from most acrylic surfaces. Use when damage is too severe to be restored with NOVUS No.2 polish.
- Requires use of NOVUS No.2 for final finishing
- Not recommended for use on coated plastics
- Remove surface dirt and dust with Novus No.1.
- Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
- Apply NOVUS No.3 liberally. Using 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.
- Continue polishing until only fine scratches remain. IMPORTANT: Using cloth, remove all remaining polish.
- With clean cloth, apply NOVUS No.2 in a circular motion uniformly to entire surface. Polish using light pressure until dried to a light haze.
- Using a clean cloth, buff the surface clean.
- For best results, follow with NOVUS No.1
Important Polishing Tips:
Before attempting to clean or remove scratches, always make sure the plastic is cool to the touch. Use a liberal amount of plastic cleaner to safely remove surface dust and dirt. In addition, test scratch removers in a small, inconspicuous area for compatibility. Some plastics are coated with a thin film which may be damaged by the abrasives in the polish. NOVUS No.2 and No.3 are not recommended for use on eyeglass lenses.
For best results, use NOVUS Polish Mates. The ideal cloth is nonabrasive, absorbent, lint free and disposable. (Reusable cloths can retain abrasive particles and cause damage.) Avoid using polyester or rayon wipes. If NOVUS Polish Mates are not available, use a soft cloth (such as a cloth diaper.)
If the damage is fairly large or badly damaged, a power buffer may be used with NOVUS No.2 and No.3. Use a clean wool or cotton bonnet and operate the buffer at a low speed, approximately 1000 RPM, to avoid overheating the plastic. Each polish should be applied with a separate, clean bonnet.
Recommended by manufacturers of plastic products, NOVUS Plastic Polish can rejuvenate and breathe new life into thousands of everyday products.
