I buffed out my window visors with Plastix. It made the scratches less visible. I'm sure it would make it look better if I did it a few more times.

ant, try hitting up the paint supply stores like meza or tri city they should be able to find something for you. if not, try calling a legit detail place and ask what they use.

Novus is a great product. We use all the time at work. For deep cuts you'll need to sand it down starting with lets say 220 grit and work your way up to lets say 1000 or higher. Then use the Novus 3 and work your way down to Novus 1 and then polish with a soft cloth using any plastic polish such as Brillianize.

Good Luck!

then (depending on the original) you hit it with some house of kolor clear coat and it'll look brand new.

that's how the body shops do it.

if you're going to go through the trouble of using a sander, i think you can get away without using the novus and head directly to the polish

Not sure on any brand names but look for some motorcycle visor polish. To keep it looking good and somewhat resistant to scratches get a body shop to clear them.
