I rubbed the crap out of a large dull spot on some 50's blue sparkles with the most abrasive grit using the provided cloth... I never got the shine back to where I really wanted it but it did improve a lot.

I did conclude that I could not damage these blue sparkle wraps with any amount Novus polishing... that is just my experience with the product.

Best of luck.. sounds like a real nice kit!

You can usually find Novus at plastics dealers or model / hobby shops if you live in an area that has one.

I would (and do) only use the #2...the #1 (the real thick stuff) is too abrasive and will scratch wraps. The # 3 doesn't do anything that I can tell.

A small bottle is more than enough to do a whole set.

I recommend a light cleaning of the shells if they're real dirty (with the hardware OFF the drums)...if they're relatively clean, liberally apply the the novus to a few panels of the shell...I use my bare fingers...that way I can feel dirty or rougher spots, and rug the stuff around. Then polish the drum with cotton rags.

Once over does a nice job...doing it twice is better.

A lot of picture frame shops use this to clean plexi glass. Try Larson Juhl and United Manufacturers. These are companies that sells supplies for framing.

I used 1 and 2... start with 2 to get the light scratches out and then finish off with 1 ... my '66 Ludwig Champagne sparkles now sparkle !!!

Also amazing whne you rub your hand over a drum that you finished as opposed to one you have not......really smooth....

I understand 3 is for heavy duty scratches and gouges....which my kit did not require....
