jaesroe Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Hi, I recently joined the Eurobrick and bought a 4564 used set. The overall condition was great but, windscreen was a bit foggy. I did some research and found that Pledge with Future shine is effective for polishing the transparent LEGO parts. But I was told that this product is no more available in UK but there is a Pledge Klear Multi-surface wax floor shine is on the market. Is there anyone who has tried this product? or is there any good material or similar product to polish the clear parts of Lego? Thank you! Edited April 29, 2015 by jaesroe Quote
RTZX9R Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 You should be able to buy Novus polish - cleans up plastics very nicely. Likely only need the "1" bottle unless the scratches are deep. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Novus-acrylic-plastic-scratched-plastics/dp/B005FVNBFU Quote
jaesroe Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Thank you. The condition of my windscreen seems a bit foggy as there are some scratches. Then I just need #1? or even need #2? Edited April 29, 2015 by jaesroe Quote
LEGO Historian Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Be forewarned.... not all trans-clear parts in older LEGO sets was as sparklingly clear as they are today. Over the last 50 years TLG kept tampering with the formula for trans-clear parts. During the 1980s the 1x6x3 trans-clear windscreens and 2x2x2 trans-clear smooth steep slopes were foggy even in mint condition. Not sure if your train had any of these foggy parts in trans-clear (because other trans-clear parts were perfectly clear)... but you might be making things worse if the part was originally sold that way. Here's an image from my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide showing (from right to left) how LEGO trans-clear 2x4 bricks evolved over the last 55 years....

jaesroe Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks for your response. Lego historian. mine is 4564 so I assume the original condition might be better than this one. Since this set was released in 1994, I think the level of transparency was might be far left or second from left. So, would it be still risky to try Novus ? Quote
LEGO Historian Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 They do look used... so yeah... give it a try.... Quote
jaesroe Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Thank you, then I will try NOVUS..But still not so sure whether I should start from #2 or #1 first... Quote

Logically you should just start with 1. What do you have to lose? If it is too fine, go to 2, then back to 1. Edited April 30, 2015 by legoman666 Quote
