Hi Guys,

I have a uniform haze of overspray on some plastic light lenses I have on LED strip lighting. I was thinking of trying my Maguire's M100 or the Chem Guys V3600. Anything better or other suggestions?

Thanks!!

We work in historical plastics restoration and of course modern furniture plastics as well. Our "go to" plastics restorer is Novus #2. Here is a link at a decent price.....

Great on Harley Davidson windshields as well. A small bottle goes a long way.

Yeah, the furniture industry pretty much got the tech. about it from the aircraft people and yes, we also use MicroMesh for the really difficult restorations. I think that both Novus products and MicroMesh were the original materials used in restoring Lear Jet windshields.
