I scratched my bezel on my NAC, any way to restore it to new? The scratches are light ones that reflect in light.

novus 3 and a car buffer...15 mins tops...looks brand new afterwards...i had to do mine as well

only need a couple drops of the novus 3....then you can just use a spray bottle with water and light sprays to keep it wet while buffing it out with the car buffer....you could do it by hand, but this isnt a job for 'gamer arms'.... :wink:

:lol:

after i did my first screen with novus 3 and the buffer(took about 30 mins) i thought my arms were gonna fall off just from holding the buffer steady and absorbing the vibrations into my arms....buffing by hand would take hours and you would most likely die in the process from fatigue :wink:

plus, especially on the bezels, the buffer gives a really nice smooth finish and it looks brand new...not too sure the finish would be quite as slick by hand without hours of labour....

that and its easier to make sure you do an even job with the buffer

i didnt have any deep gouges or anything, mostly just scuffs, but the novus took everything off...its spotless now

well worth the effort in the end though....looks awesome...id take pics, but my camera wouldnt show anything worthwhile
