SuperTrooper Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Novus 2 is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattastic13[TK] Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 You can get the whole kit (1 to 3) through Quadratec [and they ship internationally] if you are like me and don't like going to stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue4ngel Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Amazon has a whole slew as well. Novus Polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Too much use of Novus can remove the top layer ( ie the UV protection) leading to yellowing. Once its been polished up I would recommend just using a house hold spray polish like Mr Sheene to keep it clean and shiney. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Sheen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Ninja[TK] Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Speaking of Novus, do you guys just use the Novus #2 by itself, or do you use the cleaner (#1) first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattastic13[TK] Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Anybody know a good comparable item that is available in the US? Pledge maybe? Looks pretty similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I've seen some people recommend car polish... ...only on painted buckets. I wouldn't use car polish on any raw ABS pulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 What about a waxing product? Maybe a floor wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkamino Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I've used Novus but I actually prefer Insulator's Wax....its more of a durable shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMan Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 speaking of Novus #2 on this thread, has anybody ever used it to get the scratches off of sunglasses? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanos Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Will the Novus work on a MR CE helmet? I scratched my helmet during my first Troop . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkamino Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Will the Novus work on a MR CE helmet? I scratched my helmet during my first Troop . I believe the MR CE helmet is ABS so it should work just fine. Always test a small area. As for sunglasses....I assume you are talking about the lenses and I would have to say No, it will not remove the scratches without causing more damage than good.

tk0000[501st] Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Spray can of Honda motorcycle plastic cleaner/polish. I use it on my crotch rocket and my all my armor....and other things I want shiney. It cleans and polishes ABS plastic metal and paint. its also anti fogging for lenses. I use on my motorcycle helmet and visor to prevent fog on cold mornings and my star wars helmets to prevent fogg an any day Block UV rays and is anti static It cost around $5.00 for a spray paint size can. It's in a black canYou will need a very nice polishing cloth. You can get it at any local Handa motorcycle dealer. Here's a link to kneedraggers. I've purchased many things from them and they a greeat company. --------------- Edited February 15, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
