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

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.

Oh my god. I LOVE this! I bought it before a few years back just to polish the plastic on the interior of my car. It was good, but I didn't have major scratches. Fast forward to redecorating my apartment & buying clear "ghost" chairs (Ikea, Polycarbonate plastic, but still $80 a chair) and an acrylic tray I got from West Elm on deep discount because of a deep scratch (85% off) & figured I would deal with it, even though it bothered me every time I looked at it (so anal). Well, a couple of days ago I saw some thing stuck on one of the chairs, right on the top back, which I tried cleaning off with regular cleaner to no avail. Then I thought..I don't know what that is..maybe nail polish remover will get it off? OK OK - I didn't know that acetone absolutely destroys plastic so immediately and thoroughly! Pure acetone takes SO long to take fake nails off, I couldn't imagine a tiny dab for a second using a Q-tip could do so much damage. Nooooo!!! How could it possibly be worse?! It was so bad, dull scratched and about an inch all around, totally obvious above the table & no way to hide it. The cleaning ladies came and asked me what happened & I shamefully admitted to it. I was thinking I had to buy a new replacement chair just weeks after buying this set. Ouch. :-( And then I remembered this stuff & thought it was worth a try. The Novus kit came to my door & I immediately went to test it on the chair. I figured... it was my last hope. I skipped #1 all together and tried #2. Nope. Nothing. Then #3... and it was working! The edges that were slightly damaged were clear again. I went over it 5 times and you absolutely CANNOT tell how badly I messed up. It is perfectly clear & see through again. And my eagle eyes cannot even tell where the scratch was! Now only you & the cleaning ladies will ever know what a dumb thing I did. Yippee!!! Then I used #2 to take out some minor scratches on the seat of another chair (probably from someone's jeans that had buttons or metal) and it cleared up in one coat. It also polished up the tray with deep scratches like a charm too (only took 1 coat of the #3). Miracle stuff! I am SO happy I remembered this exists. If you have ghost chairs (especially those that paid hundreds of dollars per chair) or acrylic in your home, I recommend having this on hand. We KNOW acrylic furniture will scratch, but there is a way to polish it up!

INTRO I purchased this plastic polish kit to clean up two Apple computers; an Apple G4 Cube and a Powermac G4 Quicksilver. Each of them had multiple scratches and aberrations, ranging from deep gouges to surface abrasions. I will discuss each. DEEP SCRATCHES As expected, this kit will not remove deep scratches alone. Only sanding can do that. With this in mind, using bottles 1 and 2 multiple times will blur the edges some, making them appear less stark/apparent. MEDIUM SCRATCHES This is where I started to see the benefits of the kit. Medium scratches started to fade more obviously, and I saw several of them be downgraded to "light scratches". Again, I had to go over the imperfections several times with bottles one and two. LIGHT SCRATCHES Will only a small amount of elbow grease, light scratches were all but removed. This was the most pleasing part of using the whole kit - although I wasn't surprised. BUFFING Another part I was pleased with was using bottles 2 & 3 to give each case a shiny appearance. You may not realize it, but micro-abrasions will give any plastic an overall dull appearance - the kit does an excellent job at buffing these out and giving your item a real shine. OVERALL This is a decent kit that does a pretty impressive job on smaller scratches. It's not the best I have used, but for the price and convenience of buying on Amazon I can definitely recommend it!

I have a Dual turntable from the early 1970's with a clear dust cover. The turntable had a good life and was in storage for 20+ years. The dust cover had a slight imprint on the top from a stack of papers sitting on it. Plus the plastic had the usual scratches from years of use. I used these Novus polishes on the dust cover with GREAT results. The scratched top looks as clean and clear as the sides which don't have much wear. I would easily use this again. One caution is that the "#2 Fine Scratch Remover" is very runny and does not stay in place, so you have to be careful not to let it run off. My only concern with this 3 product collection is the "#1 Clean Shine Protect" product doesn't seem to do much. It is a thin semi-transparent liquid and after applying it, I can't tell it did anything other than make my fingers smell like chemicals. Maybe there is some good use case for this product, but it wasn't on my turntable dust cover. Finally, be aware that these products do not ship in retail packaging; they are in a plastic bag with some disposable polishing cloths inside. You don't get a fancy box, but that's OK for me.

Excuse the spontaneous title, as I mean to elaborate on what I said in it. Okay. I have a DSi XL (Mario) and a DS Lite to test this stuff on. I find that the #2 (fine scratch remover) is MOST effective. I had one fine (light) scratch on my DSi XL that's been bugging me. Yes, I am one of those people who are a little OC when it comes to keeping your stuff in pristine shape. I tested out the #3 (heavy scratch remover) on my heavily scratched DS Lite (got it used from Gamestop), and I can't really tell the accuracy of that one. The thing is, DO NOT AGGRESSIVELY BUFF your plastics like the instructions imply. You will only add MORE scratches to the plastic. My DS Lite was the test system for this experiment, and I learned that first hand. After seeing that not only did #3 NOT remove those heavy scratches (if they are too heavy, it will not work period), but by buffing the Lite's screen aggressively, I added MORE scratches. I wouldn't trust #3 as much as #2; then again, heavy scratches are more severe than fine/light ones. As for the fine/light scratches, you are in luck basically. Those types of scratches aren't as serious; and by GENTLY buffing the area that's lightly scratched, you WILL get results like I did with my DSi XL. The scratch is gone, as if it were never there. I am pleased now; and just like me, you can rest assured that if you apply #2 PROPERLY, you WILL get the same results. As for #1, I consider it a bonus. You really don't need to apply it like the instructions claim. The instructions, by the way, require you to use removers #3, #2, then apply #1, the cleaning solution, afterwards. I say follow this order ONLY IF the problem is serious, and buff gently the whole time. Other than that, as I said before about #1, it isn't necessary. Just GENTLY wipe the area you are repairing after applying the scratch remover(s). This review is mostly for those who have inquiries on using this stuff on their hand held video game systems' screens. Just like me, I am sure plenty of people are wondering if this stuff, let alone a host of other solutions, are available to remedy a scratched screen problem for a hand held video game system's screen. For fine scratches at least, this is definitely a solution to that problem.

So here is a little background before i start raving about how wonderful this product is... I recently purchased a used car and it has a small display right above the dash which displays the time, radio station and other irrelevant things. This display has a plexiglass cover over it. The previous owner had sprayed it with some chemicals which caused spots to appear on it. These spots annoyed me every time i looked at the display. So i decided to do something about it and purchased a spot cleaner from Amazon. This spot cleaner of course came with a nice booklet about dos and dont's which i chose to not read. BIG mistake. I was not supposed to use it on plastics and mine being a plexiglass, it didnt quiet go well. After rubbing(sanding) it on the display for a good 5 minutes, the spots were gone alright, but so was the plexiglass surface. I had totally messed up the display. It had so many minute scratches, it looked almost "frosted". It was worse than before. I could barely see through the glass now. I did ask my dealer about fixing this and he said i will have to replace the whole front assembly of the display which costs $800. So i started looking around for a good scratch remover to try my luck at fixing it myself. I decided to give this a try after reading all the good reviews it had. It came with the three bottles labelled 1,2,3 as pictured. I started with the number 1 bottle first to clean the surface of the plexiglass. Then proceeded to use the number 2 bottle. Applied the thick paste on to it and started working it. I did this for probably a minute. There was a white residue on the surface after it dried. I again poured some from the number 1 bottle and wiped the residue off. To my surprise i could see a huge difference already. The "frosty" look was almost gone! I could see through the glass again clearly. There were a few scratches still visible so i went to work on it again repeating the same steps. This time it was even better!! All it took was two applications of the number 2 bottle and i didnt even have to use the number 3. The surface is not completely scratch free but you can hardly notice them. I will probably have to use it again to completely remove the scratches but i am happy for now. So there you go, if you wanna polish out some scratches and bring back the luster to the surface of your plastics, definitely give this a try first before looking into more expensive options. Hopefully it will save you a lot of $$ just like it did for me. Cheers!!

Great for cleaning and polishing plastic windscreen

Unfortunately, this product is a waste of money, at least in my application, which was scratch repair in a Dell 19" computer monitor with plastic screen. - There are two scratches, and both look fairly small to me. I initially attempted using only the "fine scratch remover" (after cleaning the site), and this did nothing. - I then attempted to use the "heavy scratch remover" by following the directions on the bottle, following it with the fine scratch remover and then the plastic shine. Again, nothing. - Last, I watched videos where folks applied the heavy scratch remover in circles (rather than perpendicular to the crack, as the instructions say) and then followed up with fine remover and polish. I did this, and, again, no difference. Cracks remain, but my monitor screen looks like I spilled coffee on half of it (see image).

I used this product on my car headlights. It definitely removes this layer of yelowish discoloration caused by oxidation and reduces the opaqueness. I'll use it on a regular basis to keep them as transparent as possible.

Al principio me costó un poco no con seguia obtener un resultado óptimo,pero me di cuenta que a mano no sale,pero si utiliza un rotador pequeño se consigue y con resultado super brillante que además tapa pequeño arañazos,rozaduras.Y utilizar algo de agua al final del proceso,buen producto.

for light scratches this is a great product I used it on the LCD screen of my aging DSLR and it removed all of the scratches from years of use. I have not tried it on heavier scratches so results may vary. the "wipes" are very large and I only used 1 cut into quarters (I could probably have cut those in half again and they would still have been big enough) I'm very pleased with the results

Useful for polishing 3d printed resin objects
