Not What is it? But what micron is the abrasive grit in it?

I looked on the novus website for this info as well to no avail. Maybe email them directly? Is this the preferred polish?

From what I've read, it seems to be the preferred on plastics. I have not used it. I have a stick of stuff I got from Lowe's. I don't remember the brand but its a #6 which was the finest they had and it says to be rated for polishing jewelery. I use it with a leather boot lace on the dermal and can get the axles nice and shiny.

I called Novus this morning. The guy said that the novus#2 had the equivalant of 1200 grit wet sand. I would have thought it would have been much finer than that. I did ask for clairification that he didn't mean 12,000 grit. "no, 1,200 gritt" was the answer.

I've wondered why no one follows up with #3?

Ooops, I've been informed you use it in order starting with #3. So I guess I mean "follow up after #2 by using #1...
Now that I read the details from novus, it looks as though #1 is a very light cleaner...... maybe that's why most don't mention it.

I do sell the novus polish kits which contains 2oz bottles of the #3,#2,#1, and polishing cloths.
The #3 is considered by novus to be their heavy scratch remover. The #2 is called their light scratch remover. Their #1 is a cleaner, but does contain some polish.
I use all three when doing my wheels. I not only use it on the bores, but also on the tread area and the inside rim area of the wheels. I use it everywhere the wheels come in contact with something. There are many polishes out on the market and some others will provide decent results, but I have not found any others that work as good and do not leave residue on the wheels.

I couldn't find much info on that. I made a post about it but didn't get any responses a couple weeks back. Have you just always done it, or did you test and find it gave you a speed increase?
