Question 1

Will this work on the car headlights, which I believe is plastic?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking just to SLIGHTLY POLISH and subtly smooth headlight lenses as well as other plastics in the car and around the house, this and other products like it (Brillianize, Kleenmaster, etc...) is okay and does a decent job.

HOWEVER, if you're looking to RESTORE fogged or sun-damaged headlight lenses back to their original transparent condition, this (as well as the others I mentioned) WILL NOT accomplish that nor anywhere close; you'll likely need a product that requires the use of, and includes, sandpaper of varying grit plus a wipe on luster and UV protectant.

This IS a good product to have around, just not for any serious "restoration" of plastics to their original shine.

Best of luck.

Question 2

Could this be used to shine a football helmet with a gloss finish? If not what could?

Accepted Answer

The product is formulated to clean acrylic plastic without scratching.  If the helmet is acrylic it should work very well.  It is a very gentle cleaner. I think it's safe for just about any type of plastic.

Question 3

How well does this remove scratches on plastic lenses?

Accepted Answer

Novus 1 contains no abrasives and will likely not remove any scratches from plastic lenses. It will however clean and condition the plastic making scratches much less visible. Novus 2 and Novus 3 are the scratch removal products. If the lenses you are referring to are for eyeglasses, do not use Novus 2 or Novus 3, there are usually special coatings on eyeglasses for UV protection and polarization, and the abrasives in 2 and 3 will probably remove them.

Question 4

I accidentally swiped the plastic/acrylic with 120 sandpaper when I was sanding a wood picture frame. Will this help?

Accepted Answer

It should as long as its not real deep. I used this to take scratches out of the windshield on my U.T.V. works good. I start with #3 then #2 and finish with #1 to clean and coat.
