Super helpful. Thank you!

These Videos are so informative and helpful! thanks a tonne. i make silicone molds with acrylics and they get scratcehd up once in a while..this helped a lot in fixing that!

Where can I buy these products in the USA

Will Novus remove swirl marks on plastic surfaces?

AVOID THE ADVICE OF "USE PAPER TOWELS".. NEVER USE PAPER TOWELS OF ANY KIND..

Very informative....I'm trying to restore the luster of an old plastic TV and this gives me ideas.

tht looks like you made it clear but it isn't, not even close. Get an LED strip and put it on the edge and turn the lights off. They will stick out like a sore thumb

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but will this work on lucite furniture ?? I found a lucite table w some minor scratches and was wondering if I can make it prettier

thats awesome . I build an acrylic tank and now need to polish it and remove some glue marks. 400 sandpaper to 2000 or would you recommend just 400 and then novus 3 like shown in your video. Thanks

What is a good cloth for this ? Novus mates wipes are expensive and hard to find for me.

I wonder if flame polishing would work or if the surface would be rippley.

I was looking at this product at Home Depot, and I was wondering if it would work for my situation. I have a client that has a bunch of acrylic sheets covering their windows. We live in the Greater New Orleans area, so we have a lot of storms and of course hurricanes. Regardless, the sheets have a lot of Sun and algae damage. I have figured out how to use a polishing compound to remove the baked on algae, but there are still a lot of scratches on there. I do not want to sand them, due to their already 1/4 inch or less thickness. I feel that removing material will compromise their integrity and make them almost useless and flimsy or may even cause them to become brittle if I use a machine that generates heat.

So now I'm pretty sure that after I remove the surface contaminants, that this product will actually remove the Sun damage scratches and yellow/hazy appearance and will not alter the integrity of the sheets.

My only concern is that they only carry the 1 and 2. I am not sure if those two will be able to remove the deeper Sun damage. But even if it does 90% of it, that is a lot better than it is now.

This video really shows how to remove scratches from plastic. I only wish Mike told how long each step took to do or there was a continuous timer running so I knew how long each step took. I've tried his method to remove a lot of scratches from a phono dust cover with limited success. Some scratches are quite deep. I can easily feel them with my fingernail. Those scratches I wet sanded with 400 grit. After much buffing with #3 and #2, my dust cover still is not near as clear as I was hoping. Maybe I need to get comfortable, put some good music on and spend the afternoon polishing on it.

Exceptionally useful video for all who have acrylic aquariums.

just what i was expecting

Will this work on monitor screens?

Have an acrylic panel for my PC and I'm gonna try to make it look new again, scratches aren't deep at all I can't wait to see it looking spotless again thanks

Can you use this method on a black acrylic shower pan??

Does anyone know it I can use these products on a black acylic shower pan???

Awesome video

Would this work on an acrylic watch face?

Hello I don’t know if you are still seeing this but I’m trying this method on my anime acrylic stand that has a scratch in it and it removed the scratch but the sandpaper scratches are gone what should I do?

I hope the Nobs people pay you well. I followed your instruction to a T and ruined the item - it had a large scratch now it’s damaged beyond use.

I have used half of the heavy and light scratch remover WITH an orbital polisher. This product is the most ineffective product I’ve ever purchased. ZERO impact!!! I have pictures.

Amuses me that people over that side call everything 'sandpaper' when the abrasive is anything but 'sand'. Useful vid though. Not sure if novus is available in UK?

This is exactly what I did to restore a set of Ludwig Vistalite drums. it works great they came out looking nearly new.

So I accidentally scratched my dry erase white board with scissors while opening it. Is there a homemade way to get rid of it. I can see a black scratch on it

Do I have to buy all three then ?

Didn't work. Ruined my acrylic and made it much much worse

I think this video is about model car windows.

yeah, well i used the 400 grit on my acrylic riser and it's ruined and the novus method did nothing :(
so purchasing a new riser :(

I think 400 grit is too abrasive. I used 600 to 800 to 1000 grit and then went through the novus system and worked pretty good. Got rid of the big scratches, now just have circular microscratch in the area. You know of any tips to get that crystal clear glass finished look?

Thank you very much

Im about to attempt to remove scratches from two black acrylic shower pans and 1 white tub....i will keep you posted.
Im bringing sandpaper 400, 600, 800 and a wool buffing wheel. Plus the Novus kit... Wish me luck 🙏

Bring mine for you to clean

Novice?

Every time I try to remove haze I just end up with a broader area of slightly scuffed plastic.

I’m surprised it worked great on my acrylic fish tank!
