[TrunkCom] Scratch Fixer

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 20:06:04 -0800

Hi trunkcom,

Regarding the Novus product-while I haven't used this on scanner displays,
it has worked well for me on restoration of pinball plastics...actually, I
expect the pinball materials are a bit tougher than scanner displays, so I'd
approach with care-this stuff is abrasive and comes in versions ranging from
scratch remover through fine polisher...try an ebay search on "NOVUS"
without the quotes-usually shows up in the pinball section.

good luck

John Collins
