I got a NOVUS kit hand carried into China at the end of Dec by a friend and in all honesty, I will never use anything else. The thing is magic. Gets rid of those micro scratches in a wipe or two.

Chemicals LOL

Heck, might as well get the good stuff, I'll shop around for the NOVUS kit.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you Canada Post! Arrived safe and sound today. Looks fantastic Nine! Hey - question - maybe this has been answered but don't see it - what is the gold Porsche crest and allen wrench for? Don't see where those would be used off hand. Help!

Wrench is for the two little M3 hex screws that secure those 2 CNC blades (black thingies sandwiched onto the WD). Those will unscrew/screw with a 2mm wrench (metric).

Edit: did mentioned M3, as in very small! Aluminum threads careful no Big thumb torque req loll. Just sit the screw and add 1/4 turn (1/2 turn max). That's it or you'll strip out the threads hehehe

Once I find those Ultraviolet LED strips, believe me you'll want to shoot me $8 to cover shipping for one of these. That mini wrench will come handy if you switch leds!

Had friends over yesterday helping me out with some other production. I am "2.5 weeks late" in everything and finally admitting I need some help loll Thank god for good friends (i.e. the type that shows up when you are in trouble)

Going offline until this coming Sunday. I'll be dead quiet but won't be far

Andy took this shot out of his mobby cam y'day eve... just got it FW to me. Horrible quality but I like it. Let's see some of yours when you have the kit installed!

My boxster car has its Winter Mood colors turned ON atm! Heard you guys on the east coast are being hit bad weather-wise. Keep safe there all

Get the Novus 1 2 3 kit if you have the plastic window. I swear after the first time I used all three the plastic window was more flexible (as if it had absorbed some chemicals) and wasn't as brittle as it had been. Use the polish about every other car washing and it stays nice and clear. Only difficulty is getting your hand and the rag all over the inside of the window really requires some contortions.

Mike, thanks for commenting. I do have the Novus kit but you're right - getting at the inside of the window is a job for an 85 lb Russian gymnast. I need to do a better job on the inside surfaces, as I tend to ignore them in favor of the "easy" side, and it shows. I'll try to get at it this spring.
