Ever since I launched a massive project to restore my wife's 1991 Pontiac Sunbird convertible I have imposed on the good men of this forum
to provide advice. The car has come a very long way n its transformation and now I am doing the "fun stuff" with the heavy-labor parts behind me. The plastic
rear window of her Sunbird was horrible; scratched and nearly opaque. To add insult to injury, even with copious amounts of masking I did when painting, I still
somehow got overspray of the paint and clearcoat under the Kraft paper and onto the window. Off to the Internet I went and read through
many forum postings from guys with their recommendations. Most bewildering were the useless Youtube videos from guys who have no
business getting in front of a camera (Did they think about what they were going to say before they started recording their video?)
After creating my list of what to consider I counted up which product got the most positive comments and it was Novus. So I bought
the 3 bottles (Novus #1, Novus #2 and Novus #3) for $24.00 and prepared to be disappointed because the hype and reviews I see
on the Internet often have not been my experiences. Today I followed the instructions on the bottles, starting with #2, then #3 and finishing
#1 and WOW! I can't believe what a great job it did. Her window now looks like it's glass. I did the process on the outside as well as on
the inside of the window and it is beautiful. I don't know what's in that stuff but it works superbly. I wish I had taken a BEFORE and AFTER photo
because the difference was dramatic. So take it for what it's worth...this is just my $.01- worth (I can't offer this as my $.02 worth because this restoration has really plundered my cash
and a copper Abe Lincoln is now about all I have left.
