Dave,

Thanks for the heads up.  We love our acrylics and want them to always have that new look.  Finding a product that can accomplish that without gumming up the knife can be tough.  We appreciate your sharing that with us

Check out the website for complete info.

Absolutely NO gun with this stuff and it shines not only the Acrylic/Perylic, but the metal parts as well.

I was waxing my knives until I discovered this and it is so much easier to use and gives such enhanced results that I now use it exclusively.  I like the fact that it leaves no residue or "gum" of any kind.  Just a great shine.

Awesome Dave, I still don't have an Acrylic, or a Perylic yet but maybe I'll have to pick one up soon. It's sounds like a great product so thanks for the link, I'll be checking it out for sure.

I have the 8 ounce size container, which will still be half full long after I'm gone.

The smaller 2 ounce size will last a long time for maintaining a knife collection.

Be aware that it does slightly darken the brass to a deep golden color, which I personally find attractive, but polishes all other metal and acrylic surfaces, including the 1095 blade steel, without discoloring.

I have worked in the plastic industry for nearly 30 years and am very familiar with the Novus plastic polishes. There is also a Novus #2 & #3 which are used for scratch removal. Novus is a good product. I have found some I like even better that leave behind a scratch resistant coating, but you can't go wrong with regular old Novus #1 for frequent use.

Thanks Tim. 

Glad to hear you are very familiar with Novus products.  They were relatively new to me but I am very happy with the results.  I would be interested in the products you mention that leave a protective coating as well.  Sounds like it could be an even better "mouse trap".  I'm always open to learning something new.
