Fumanchewie[TK] Posted March 27, 2023 Report Posted March 27, 2023 I was anticipating using Novus 2 plastic polish to polish my Denuo Novo (DN) armor, but I recently heard of someone using headlight polishing compound. Does anyone have any experience polishing DN armor? What were your results? Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 27, 2023 Report Posted March 27, 2023 While Novus is great and specially designed for plastics, general car polishes work too. I can't see why headlight polish would be any different considering modern vehicle lights are all plastic these days. Like any compound I would always test it in an inconspicuous area first like inside your chest plate to see how well it shines it up. 2 Quote
iceknyght[TK] Posted March 27, 2023 Report Posted March 27, 2023 Both will work, but be careful, all of those "compounds" and "polishes" are abrasives (think tiny liquid sandpaper), so they take a little (or a lot, depending on the strength) of material away when used. They are taking the top layer (or more) off. Headlight polishing is very similar to the Novus stuff, where it basically takes off the top layer of oxidation. The Novus stuff is nicer though, in that it comes in a few different strengths. If you're just looking to clean up and make it shine, like Sly said, a car polish/protector would be better (like a wax or sealant) and if you want to get fancy, a graphene ceramic coating! 1 Quote
Fumanchewie[TK] Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Posted March 28, 2023 Great suggestions. I will try both of one of the larger pieces I have trimmed off. Quote
