So I went and picked up some Novus Plastic cleaner to get out some minor scratches and clean the tank/ airbox shell of my Black XB9S. I used Novus #1 first and it looked great EXCEPT 1 small scratch. I then switched to #2 to try and get rid of it. Now the top rear is all cloudy/hazey. Any suggestions? Do I just keep using #1 until it clears up? Searched Knowledge vault 190 Days. 1 Post helped a little. | ||

What kind of cloth are you using? That's fairly critical as well. Use a good soft cotton cloth, follow the instructions on the #2 bottle to the letter. I think the #1 is not actually a polish, just a non static coating. The Harley Sealer Glaze makes a good "finer polish then Novus #2"... think of it as kind of a Novus 1.5. | ||

Clean cotton T-shirt for a cloth and I'm sure I followed the instructions but I'll have to recheck them when I get home. Thanks, Jeff | ||

Did you take the t-shirt off first? I had the same problem . . . it was my belly piercing. | ||

Number 1 will remove the scratches that number 2 made, eventually -- however, make certain you are not re-using the same cloth (without a good wash in between) -- Reep's right on both his points -- the clotch make a huge differnece, and Harley's sealer glaze IS a novus 1.5 (good way to put it, Mouse) 3M also makes some good polishes, btw | ||

Well, I got most of the haze out last night I used #2 with very light pressure (I'm sure I was applying too much pressure in the first place). It dosen't look bad. It's not completely clear yet, but I'm getting there! Thanks, Jeff Court I had a nice chuckle over the belly button ring | ||

Been there done that. I bet you have a black bike, not psychic just read your profile. It has been mentioned here before and I'll say it again for anyone with a black bike. Do not use Novus 2 on a black bike it will haze. I'll have to try the Harley Sealer Glaze sometime. | ||

Hey, I have a black bike. Sure am glad you mentioned that as I was thinking about trying to remove some marring. Any advice on that note? This is the typical dulling from using the tank bag. | ||

Try using Eagle One, Nano polish after the Novus 2. Make sure you finish the Eagle One with a soft cloth by hand. Final coat of Plexus will bring you to a finish that is about as close to factory as you will get. | ||

I second the Eagle One -- my neighbor from across the street, who I have never talked to before, walked over while I was washing my 12R with a bottle of Eagle One and said to try it. This guy is maybe mid-60s or older, with two BEAUTIFUL Corvettes that he takes to shows. He said a guy with a amazing black 'vett at the last car show said Eagle One is what he uses. Needless to say I tried it out, worked like a charm. Always listen to your elders, they know stuff!  Cheers! |
