plastic polish

[ogre03]

Does anyone know a good plastic polish? I've seen some that promise good results, but they want to sell their product, I want to see a real review.

Novus makes good plastic polishes. They have a 3 different stages, one for heavy scratches, one for light scratches, and the third is a cleaner. Anyways, when I had my warrior, I took the warning labels off with some chemical that ended up stripping the finish off the plastic. I took the middle polish for light scratches and with a drill and buffing wheel, it made those plastics shine like new. If you have deep scratches though, I would use sand paper (increasing in grit as in start with say 100 and work your way up to 1000) to smooth the plastic, then polish it to get a shiny finish.

I've used plastic renew and it worked well as long as there aren't any deep scratches you're trying to remove. But, if all you're looking to do is remove some minor scratches and make the plastics shine, plastic renew works really well if you take your time and do it like the instructions tell you. I found that starting with a 400 grit "wet sand" paper and moving up to 800 grit, then 1,200 grit works great (sand lightly too), then follow up with the chemical that comes in the kit. You'll have to put 3 or 4 coats of the chemical on there but when it's done, the scratches are gone and it looks like a clear coat is on them.

LOL, could be!!! Whatever it is though, it seems to work pretty good and isn't too expensive! Maybe I should do some recon on the mystery chemical in the plastic renew....might be able to come up with a cheaper alternative
