Review on Novus 7136 Plastic Polish Kit by Eric Beck

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Removes "cloudy " residue, does NOT hide scratches

I used this Novus 3 step plastic polish on a motorcycle windshield after several sources recommended it. I buffed/cleaned the old windshield polish with a non-abrasive rag, soap, and warm water, exposing tons of scratches and "clouding" the windshield. This is common and applying a new polish should completely remove any cloudy residue and greatly reduce the visibility of scratches. reduce the visibility of scratches. I figured maybe #2 "light/minor scratches" would do the job. Unfortunately, I didn't notice much of a difference between using #3 and #2. I followed the instructions on the bottles step by step. I used non-abrasive materials and did not use any cleaners or chemicals other than Dawn soap when cleaning the windshield prior to polishing. This polish may be more effective on other materials, but it was a failure on my motorcycle windshield. . Every last scratch over the years is as obvious as daylight. Now I have to sand that paint down, buy from another manufacturer and start over.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
