7030 | Fine Scratch Remover #2 | 8 Ounce Bottle

This is a wonderful product, makes my acrylic tables look brand new, they shine and are very smooth!

Great polish for fine scratches. I have used it on headlight covers (typically poly-carbonate), ABS, Clear PVC and it has done well on all of them. The depth of your scratches is what determines how course a polish you use. I start with a finer polish and if it doesn’t do the job then use a courser polish. Novus has a number 3 (courser polish). You always have to use the finer polish after the courser polish so you have to use the 2 polish again, but it is an easier means of telling which will work. I would be hesitant to use this on a touch screen as there can be invisible circuitry (indium tin oxide) very close to the surface and what the material is. Unless you know and understand the tech then usually best not to mess with it. Heating trinitrotoluene on the stove would be bad if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s TNT. It does seem to leave some coating on the surface but it is NOT like many of the ‘wipe on fill type’ product to improve clarity that don’t last.. If you don’t have to rub it (or shake the bottle) then it isn’t really a polish. And while it might take a bit longer than the chemical melting wipe on type, you have much more control and less chance of messing up the surface. At worst (unless you go too fast and melt the plastic) you will end up with a clear depression in the material. I would like it to last a little longer before drying but in the hot Texas sun everything probably drys faster. After talking with the manufacturer they say that water can be used to wet the surface as long as you don’t dilute the polishing compound. This drill brush worked well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VIGPG6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Although these might work better as they don’t expose the polish to air as much and so it might last longer as liquid. I am polishing the inside of cylinders so needed something round instead of disk. For just headlights I would try these. https://www.amazon.com/Foam-Drill-Polishing-Inch-Buffing/dp/B076ZJMHB1/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537911177&sr=8-3&keywords=foam+polishing+pad+for+drill

The Novus 7030 Fine Scratch Remover #2 is a reliable go-to for polishing out light surface scratches on plastics and acrylics. I used it on a motorcycle windshield and a few old gaming console covers, and it noticeably improved clarity and reduced visible wear. The formula is easy to apply and buffs out cleanly without leaving residue. The 2-pack of 8-ounce bottles is generous and should last a long time, even with frequent use. My only minor gripe is that deeper scratches require multiple applications and still may not fully disappear—but that’s expected for a fine-grade polish. Overall, it’s a solid product that delivers on its promise.

I've been using this stuff for 20 years for restoration of vintage parts and antiques. Hard plastics, Lexan, plexi-glass, etc. will scratch, dull, yellow, weathered for the elements and sun, and cloud over the years. Plastic looks old, abused, worn out and ugly, and many times the item it covers or is an accessory for may still be in great shape. It ruins the total appearance. Novus can completely restore to a new look. If you want to do it right, you'll need to have all three cleaners. Always start with Novus #1, proceed to #2, them #3, ONLY if the first doesn't give your the best desired results. The reason is that there is a slight increase of the content of compound with each step. Even so if your plastic is scratched badly enough to need #3, it will still come out looking nearly new and all but gouged scratches will be removed and yellowing will virtually disappear, there will just be a very slight decrease in clarity at each increase of product number... and it is SLIGHT, not nearly noticeable enough to offset the positive result... but for the best, crystal clear clarity, you are much better off staring with #1 and working up if necessary. I find #2 to be the most needed and most practical for most situations. #3 is needed when damage from scratching and yellowing is severe... ...you will probably be too stunned by the result to notice a very slight loss of clarity. #3 is for heaviest damage... and if truly heavy enough, you will need more than one application and plenty of elbow grease... but, the result is still so good with #3, you will be trading years of abuse, heavy scratching, scouring, yellowing, and aging.. ...for a smooth, clear result with just a very small bit of a haze... a truly unusable, abused, scratched up, ugly mess, restored to an overall new looking item. From old car / truck headlight covers.... to old record turntable covers that were scratched, weathered, and yellowed from age or tobacco... and all hard plastic parts in general... I've been in the restoration business for over 40 years.... you can try other cleaners and compounds, nothing gets the results that Novus provides...nothing.

I had bought this for my mother to use on her glasses. Money's tight right now, so buying new glasses isn't an option atm. It's a good thing she tested it on an old pair she had because it ate the indoor/outdoor transitioning film off of them (hense the "spotty-ness" in the pictures). It didn't even START to try to take the fine scratches out, despite following the directions to the T. We even tried letting the scratch remover set on the lens for a small amount of time, to see if it would enhance the scratch removing effect.... it didn't. But overall, if you have glasses, I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this product, but if u still wanna give it a try, PLEASE TEST IT ON ANOTHER SET OF GALSSES FIRST! Because like I said, it really did eat away the transitioning layer! Thanks for reading this review 😉

Utilisé pour polir le corps d un écumeur en PPMA, très efficace après plusieurs passages.

Used this to take scratches on our motorhome windows and it was excellent. The scratches were light so I don’t know how effective it would be for deep er marks. Also worked well on the plastic bumper

ho usato questo prodotto per lucidare e togliere piccoli graffi (poco profondi) e opacità da un parabrezza di un aeroplano in Pexiglass con risultati soddisfacenti. Non è a mio parere da usare su materiali tipo lexan che hanno una superficie meno dura . Un buon prodotto.
