This stuff is great on clear plastic, it polishes out small scratches and such. It's an awesome polish for clear plastics, I've used it for a while and I love it. It's probably also good for the wood trim.

I used that and it works great, plus it doesn't become as dusty as fast as it normally would without it. I also applied it to the thermometer/ compass.

I have built some acrylic parts for an underwater video rig and use a 3 stage polish for removing light to heavy scratches and clearing up areas that have been routed out. The #1 spray is just a cleaner/polish and is extremely effective in this application. Below are also some examples of what the 3 stage polish and lots of elbow grease can do.

EDIT: It's been custom designed to detect anal probes and implode them.

Good stuff. Use on the plastic rear window of my M30 convertible top. Never used it inside on anything but no doubt would be good stuff.

I use that Novus stuff. I have the #1 (Spray) and the #2 (fine scratch remover) and I think it is great stuff for plastic.

If you think the Nissan dash plastic is prone to scratching, you haven't seen the VW cluster plastic. That stuff will scratch if you look at it too long.

In any case, I spray the Novus #1 on the plastic and wipe with a microfiber towel with just enough pressure and all is well.
