I have purchased many times from the Modern Plastics website and I find this latest version world's apart from the previous. Its chock full of information and the entire ordering process is a breeze. Way to go Modern!

Modern Plastics has done it again with their new Website/e-commerce site. The drop down boxes provides me all the information I need such as thickness, available sizes and pricing for each item. Making material selections has never been easier. I'm going to make all my purchases at modernplastics.com.

To me the checkout process has to be easy. I have used so many other sites to purchase other products on-line and I dread the checkout process as most are painfully arduous to get through. Modern Plastics has got it right and that's why I use their site exclusively.

Novus® Plastic Polishes

Modern Plastics offers NOVUS® Plastic Polishes that gently clean all plastics without scratching. NOVUS® plastic polishes leave a lustrous shine that resists fogging, repels dust, and eliminates static. Use them on Plexiglas® and Lucite® acrylic products and on Lexan® polycarbonate products. Modern Plastics highly recommends using specialized cleaning cloths for plastics polishes on all its plastic products.

Watch a video that teaches you to use NOVUS® Plastic Polishes.

NOVUS® 1 Plastic Clean & Shine helps to maintain the antistatic, smudge and scratch resistant properties of your plastics.

NOVUS® 2 removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions from most plastics. With repeated use, this product restores faded and discolored plastics.

NOVUS® 3 Plastic Heavy-Duty Scratch Remover removes heavy scratches and abrasions from most acrylic surfaces. Use when damage is too severe to be restored with NOVUS No. 2 polish.

Modern Magic® MicroFiber Cleaning Cloths

Modern Magic® from Modern Plastics brings microfiber technology in a cleaning cloth, a revolutionary new way to clean Plexiglas® and Lucite® acrylic, Lexan® polycarbonate and other plastic materials. Modern Magic® MicroFiber Cleaning Cloths remove dirt, grease and dust, leaving everything sparkling clean without the use of expensive or damaging chemicals.
