Title: a good tool for those plastic square tops: NOVUS Post by: vintagegamer on February 12, 2010, 05:42:09 pm For anyone who isn't already familiar with this, my wife's V165 has the "Coke" logo showing through an upper plastic panel, and by the time we got this machine it had gotten pretty banged up.
I have a cleaner for pinball playfields called "Novus", and since it's meant for removing scratches from plastic surfaces, I decided to give it a go on the Coke panel. The results were wonderful! I will post a pic soon, but wanted to get that info out there for those of you who might have light scratches in the plastics on your machine. The Novus I have is "Novus 2". Hope this helps someone here! VG Title: Re: a good tool for those plastic square tops: NOVUS Post by: scalebowler on February 13, 2010, 08:09:47 pm I might have to try that. I have a mark on the pepsi logo on my machine that is kind of annoying that I would like to get rid of. Where do you get this stuff at?

Mine is the #2, in the red bottle: http://www.pbresource.com/cleaner.html My wife's machine has a scratch clear across the "Cola" part of "Coca Cola". This really helped hide it, along with alot of smaller scratches. I usually hate stuff that I just can't go into a store and buy, but I took the recommendations from fellow gamers and pin owners on this one. They were definitely right.

#2 & #3 and we both have had good luck with it. Title: Re: a good tool for those plastic square tops: NOVUS Post by: cdc1960 on February 13, 2010, 09:26:03 pm Great stuff... 27.99 from Eastwood... here...

I've used Novus on Jukebox parts, as well as old phones, it's amazing stuff Title: Re: a good tool for those plastic square tops: NOVUS Post by: scalebowler on February 14, 2010, 12:18:58 am Awesome! I am going to have to order some. Sounds like some great stuff.

We have sold it for years at our place. I would have never thought that a cycle shop would carry that. Interesting.

If if is not stocked they should be able to special order it. All the major suppliers carry it. Most people use it for faceshields and windscreens. It also works great old bottle door glass. It cuts right through all the gunk when you are restoring a bottle door. |
