Author Message   S1lightning Posted on Monday, November 08, 2004 - 09:51 pm:        Looking for some help here. I recently purchased a 12R and I wanted to know if there was any way to "wax" if you will, my plastics. I have the great looking black, so all shows really well. just wanted to know if any one has tried to remove the fine scratches from day to day wear, or is this some thing some one should take to a professional??? Any ideas would be cool!! Paul F   Madgaz Posted on Tuesday, November 09, 2004 - 04:52 am:        Novex make a polish specificly for plastics. Comes in 3 grades. Works great on my Black X1 MadGaz   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, November 09, 2004 - 08:17 am:        The novus will work great. Follow the instructions on the bottle for best results. Novus 3 is for pretty heavy scratches, and you have to follow it up with novus 2 which will buff it out nicely. For the sealer, Novus 1 will take off the static charge so it does not attract dust, but will come off with water (i.e. rain). I don't think the novus 1 actually polishes anything. The Harley Glaze sealer wax for plastic does a better job of sealing (though still not perfect). I am still looking for a really good sealer (something gasoline resistant).   Bcordb3 Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 - 05:05 pm:        I use SEA POWER boat wax sold at West Marine. Gives great protection and shine.   Darthane Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 - 05:11 pm:        I just used good old Turtle Wax...   Darthane Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 - 05:13 pm:          S1lightning Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 - 11:29 pm:        Looks Good, hey I appreciate all the help, looks as though I am getting the Novus plastic polish kit 1-2-3. The rep also is selling me this clay brick that is supposed to help, I will keep ya posted as to how it turns out!!.. Again thanks for your guys time.

Steve   Spike Posted on Thursday, November 11, 2004 - 05:58 pm:        I use Novus followed by Harley Glaze. The glaze appears to work like a compound- it actually turns the rag slightly red. After using both the bodywork has a noticably "softer" feel. Mike L. '04 XB12R '99 Z50R
