Shinyarmour1[TK] Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just wanted to know if there are any other kinds of polishing products out there for a wet sand and polish job? I know everyone's first response is Novus plastic polish kit, but I would like to know if there is another kind of polish that can do the same as Novus and is still safe to use on our armour. Maybe something that I could pick up in an automotive store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I just use generic compound polish, automotive normally in different grades, coarse, medium and fine, I generally only use the coarse and fine. I would say most automotive suppliers would carry compound polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I have used a few different plastic cleaning kits from automotive stores but keep coming back to Novus. Novus 1 is perfect for a quick clean and shine, Novus 2 gets out deeper marks and minor scuffs (cleans the black from my holster off the ABS nicely. Novus 3 I have only used on a couple of really tough scuffs, but followed it up with the Novus 2 then Shine with 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikidymac[TK] Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 You want to be careful with products not made for plastic as they can make them brittle and/or yellow as the lubricants that suspend the abrasive particles can be different for paint, gelcoat and plastics.
