NOVUSNovus 7136 Plastic Polish Kit - 2 oz.

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 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.

I was able to remove some of the scratches from the microwave. Worked better than what I had expected

The Novus plastic scratch remover/polish kit is an excellent product, it greatly exceeded my expectations. Used it to restore the clear acrylic dustcover of a 35 year old turntable, which had many light scuffs, scrapes, and scratches. My expectation was this scratch remover would, at best, make the dustcover look better. In fact, it made the dustcover look literally brand new. Very easy to use. Excellent value, especially for the results it provides.

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.
