    I did a search here and only saw a couple posts where someone was asking about Novus polish.

    I learned about Novus from my other hobby, reefkeeping, for which it is fairly common to use Novus to remove scratches off of acrylic aquariums. So I tried it on my wife's car's headlights and I must say it did the job well.

    You can get the Novus 1,2,3 set from Tap Plastics. Chances are, you have a local Tap Plastics store in your area. You can just get the small bottles and it will cost way less than any headlight restoration kit. I just used a microfiber towel to apply the polish. You can use this on any plastic surface, not just for headlights.

    I just polished the wife's today. I just used toothpaste then finished with some hard wax. Came out pretty good.
