Restoring damaged clear plastic
After much searching I've found a nice, easy-to-follow guide on how to restore clear plastic: http://www.oldmodelkits.com/blog/pla...ic-model-kits/
The Novus Plastic Polish can be bought relatively cheaply on ebay from this chap: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Novus-Plastic...item255e2ff718
I've since bought a kit (great to see it comes with a polishing cream as well as the scratch remover!) and will be giving it a whirl on some parts when it arrives. Will update the thread in due course.

That's very interesting.Since polishing removes a tiny layer of of the surface of the plastic, does that mean that it can restore yellowed toys?Originally Posted by Doubledealer
Even on severe cases, the yellowing is often very superficial.
It also seems very good for getting rid of scratches from play worn toys without noticeable damage.

I have a set of Novus polish, hardly used that I don't need. If anyone wants to try let me know.

I'll take it if you don't mind. There are a couple of scratched toys that I have which I would not mind trying it on.

I really hope this stuff works, if it does it'll be the best discovery since sli...er, hydrogen peroxide.
