Yep Novus is good stuff. I used a scratch kit I got from FAOIS and Novus II polish. Worked like a champ. I got it at Farco Plastics on US 19 in Largo area.

if i have small scratches on my acrylic products, i too use novus to polish...good stuff. There are 3 different types available as well...(1, 2, and 3...) One used for fine scratches, one for medium and one for heavy scratches. For fine scratches, you probably only need some elbow grease to remove them, but it's alot easier if you have power/pneumatic tool to aid ya.
If you need any help, let me know...later

some do if it comes in a kit i believe. theres 3 steps with 3 bottles. plastic clean, fine scratch remover, and the heavy scratch remover. I would use all 3 starting with the cleaner. I've seen people just use the heavy scratch remover with a polisher.
