Novus 1 Plastic Clean & Shine

Novus 1 Plastic Clean & Shine gently cleans all plastics without scratching. It leaves a lustrous shine that resists fogging and finger marking, repels dust and eliminates static. Novus 1 contains no abrasives or harsh chemicals and leaves a smooth, clean, greaseless shine on your plastics, including pinball machine playfields and plastics.

Instructions for Use

  1. If the surface is extremely dirty, apply Novus No. 1 liberally and wipe using long, sweeping strokes. Do not use pressure at this time or large dirt particles may scratch the plastic.
  2. Re-apply Novus No. 1. Polish using short, circular strokes with a clean portion of the cloth.
  3. When surface is thoroughly clean and uniformly covered, buff to a slippery glaze with a clean portion of the cloth. Surfaces buffed to a high glaze are more resistant to dust and future scratching.
  4. Reapply Novus No. 1 regularly to maintain the antistatic, smudge and scratch resistant properties.

Novus 2 Fine Scratch Remover

Novus 2 Fine Scratch Remover removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions from most pinball machine plastics. With repeated use, Novus 2 also can also restore faded and discoloured plastics. Novus 2 removes the damage instead of filling it in, buffs out quickly and after restoring and seals your plastic surfaces with a coat of polish.

Instructions for Use

  1. Observe condition of the surface to be treated. The deeper the scratches, the greater the pressure required to remove them. If the surface is dirty, clean with Novus No.1 before applying Novus No. 2.
  2. Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
  3. Apply Novus No. 2 liberally. Using a clean, soft cloth, polish with a firm back-and-forth motion at right angles to the scratches. Keep the cloth saturated with polish at all times.
  4. When the worst scratches have been polished out, reapply Novus No.2 uniformly in a circular motion to the entire surface using short, circular strokes and light pressure. Allow to dry to a light haze.
  5. Using a clean portion of the cloth, buff the surface to a slippery glaze using firm, short strokes. This procedure is imperative in achieving the best results.
  6. For heavy scratches, multiple applications of Novus No. 2 or application of Novus No. 3 may be required.
  7. Follow with Novus No. 1 for best results.

Novus 3 Heavy Scratch Remover

Use first on heavily scratched plastics. Novus 3 Heavy Scratch Remover removes heavy scratches and abrasions from most acrylic surfaces. Use when damage is too severe to be restored with Novus 2 Plastic Polish. Novus 3 requires use of Novus 2 for final finishing. Please note Novus 3 is not recommended for use on coated plastics.

Instructions for Use

  1. Shake well. Test in an inconspicuous area.
  2. Apply Novus No. 3 liberally. Using a clean, soft cloth, polish with a firm back-and-forth motion at right angles to the scratches. Keep the cloth saturated with polish at all times.
  3. Continue polishing until only fine scratches remain. Using cloth, remove all remaining polish, this is very important!
  4. Using a clean cloth, apply Novus No. 2 in a circular motion uniformly to entire surface. Polish using light pressure until Novus No. 2 dries to a light haze.
  5. Using a clean portion of the cloth, buff the surface clean. Follow with Novus No. 1 for best results.

Novus Polish Mates

The type of polishing cloth you use will make a difference to the finish you achieve. For best results apply Novus 1,2 & 3 Plastic Polish with Novus Polish Mates. Novus Polish Mates microfilament cloths are nonabrasive, absorbent, and lint free and perfect for polishing. They are highly absorbent, extra durable and abrasion resistant, making this cloth the ideal polishing solution.

If Novus Polish Mates are not available, use a soft cotton cloth. Avoid using polyester or rayon wipes which can scratch unprotected plastic

Please read the product instructions carefully before use and always test polishing and refinishing products in an inconspicuous area first.
