Power Buffer |
|
If
the damaged area is fairly large or badly damaged, a power buffer may
be used with NOVUS No. 2 and No. 3. Use a clean cotton bonnet and
operate the buffer at a low speed to avoid overheating the plastic,
approximately 1,000 RPM. Each polish should be applied with a seperate,
clean bonnet. |
|
Before Polishing |
|
Before
attempting to clean or remove scratches, always make sure the plastic
is cool to the touch. Use a liberal amount of plastic cleaner to safely
remove surface dust and dirt. In addition, test scratch removers in a
small or inconspicuous area for compatibility. |
|
Coated Plastics |
|
Some
plastics are coated with a thin film which may be damaged by the
abrasives in the polish. NOVUS No. 2 and No. 3 Polishes are not
recommended for use on coated plastics or eyeglass lenses. |
|
Polishing Cloth |
|
The
type of polishing cloth you use will make a difference. The ideal cloth
is nonabrasive, absorbent and lint free. To eliminate any chance of
scratching, use only disposable cloths. Reusable cloths can retain
abrasive particles, but you won't know for sure until the damage is
done. Use a soft cotton cloth (such as a cotton cloth diaper), avoid using polyester
or rayon wipes which can scratch unprotected plastics. |
