4. Usage Instructions
4.1. Preparation (Setup)
- Shake Well: Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed before use.
- Test Area: Always test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.

5. Maintenance
To maintain the restored clarity and protect your plastic surfaces from dust and static, regularly use NOVUS Plastic Polish #1: Clean, Shine & Protect. This product helps to keep surfaces clean, repel dust, and eliminate static, extending the life and appearance of your plastics.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter difficulties or persistent scratches, consider the following:
- Deep Scratches: If fine scratches persist or if you are dealing with deeper abrasions, NOVUS #2 may not be sufficient. For heavier scratches, try NOVUS Plastic Polish #3: Heavy Scratch Remover. Remember to follow up with NOVUS #2 after using #3 to achieve a smooth, clear finish.
- Hazy Residue: Ensure you are buffing thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth until the surface is completely dry and clear. Repeat buffing if necessary.
- Product Clogging: If the nozzle becomes clogged with dried product, clear it carefully before use.
