Default I thought there was a special coating on the surface...which is why

some suggest not using anything abrasive. I have also read that you can use a cleaner wax or polish when polishing the paint...but that's about it.

Is the Novus stuff #3 coarse? I've used the #2 and #1 but it seemed no better than wax polish.

Default I've never had luck with any "plastic polish" type products...

Haven't tried this one, Jeff, but none of the other highly recommended products I've tried from multiple companies has done a thing for plastics like the TT headlight lens, iPod, cd's etc.

I might be doing something completely wrong, but I've followed directions in each case. Just my experience. I'm sure it has something to do with the type and depth of each scratch.
