How clear does it dry? Could I spray it on the lenses of my glasses to prevent scratches?

Great idea, but bad product! Didn't hold up on my car at all. Peels right off. Plus my husband told me it effected the clear coat because he can still see where it had been sprayed on even after it all peeled away. Please save your money! Others have had the same complaints as mine in this forum!

Living in New England I tend to get scratches and chips monthly and I use the kit.I simply apply the resin and cover it with the uv drying mechanism provided and it takes care our the scratch. You might be able to catch a small part of it with your nail I would say makes it 99 percent invisible I highly recommend it....I'm super picky about my car I grave used it probably 10 times for tint nicks.

As long as your "glasses" are not glass, but are "plastic", then the Novus #2 solution might remove very fine superficial scratches. Use a very soft cotton cloth, like the silky kind included with your spectacles from the optometrist. You might have to repeat the process again if the scratch is still present.

It's a very strong clear once it dries, however I would not recommend using it on a car.....

No. It does not work well. Don't bother. Clear shine at the drug store works better.

Get a small paint brush and apply a thick coat to both sides of your glasses. Leave it for about 45 minutes and then rinse it off. If it doesn't get everything off the first time, repeat the process

I do not use them on prescription glasses. I do know that the product dries clear with no smudges. I would suspect that it would not interfere with the prescription.

A little definitely goes a long way with the sealer. A couple quick sprays directly on the lens will make a huge difference. I typically do mine every couple weeks or so, just to keep the lenses looking as clear as possible. But, that's really your individual preference. Depending on the weather, how often you wash your vehicle, etc...results will surely vary. I'd say, you'd get a good six-eight weeks out of one application, before it starts yellowing. Again, I apply mine every couple of weeks, though. So, this is just my own personal result/pattern. This stuff makes a world of difference, I promise you that!

Absolutely. Actually they would be less likely to scratch those than glasses. They make the two stage wet and dry for those products but why pay more and who uses the dry anyway ?

I have heard that this product will repair some scratches to eyeglasses if they are not too deep. I have scratches in my own glasses but have never worked up the nerve to try it considering what I paid for the glasses. Sorry I couldn't be for more help.

I'm not sure about glasses. I used it for an acrylic fish tank. But what I do know is, if the scratches are deep it required sanding with sandpaper first. If sanding is required then you want to work up to a really fine grit paper (minimum of 2000 grit). if you think the lenses are plastic then it should work. Or if the glasses are ruined it's a fairly cheap way to try to save them. I've been really impressed with the product and on plastic it does work well just not for deep scratches like they say stage 3 is for. I've also used it to restore headlights and worked great!

I also have the anti-glare coating on both inside and outside the lenses. This product was recommended by my optometrist for use with such coatings. After a year of daily use with microfiber and synthetic cleaning cloths, NO problems at all. Just make sure that the cloths are clean and the lenses don't have particles on it, otherwise they scratch the coatings.

I used it on some clear plastic lenses. It left a bunch of small scratches all over. I wouldn't use it on anything I really cared about.

Don't think it really maters, you are basically WET SANDING the lenses. So freezing is out and it being in direct sun or really hot where it would dry out to quickly would be a problem. The Clear Coat at end is basic painting it on and trying to get even and thick coat, which would be complicated by too cold or hot and dry.

My husband said it is great on fiberglass, decals, & plastic lenses. Many other uses also. Another suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer.

I left a review. It looked like new for a few months. Then it developed a haze. The clear coat seems to become opaque. It does scratch easily also. After 1 year I re-did mine because I hated the hazy look again. It was much easier to de-do because most of the oxidation was already sanded off last year. I prefered the Wipe New due to easier to use sanding pad and pre-soaked clear coat micro fiber patch applied it evenly and easily without runs or dripping. I used the rag afterwords on the black plastic trim and tailight lenses to amazing effect. I expect it will also haze after a year and be hard to remove but it looks fantastic for now.

This is a very thin product, and the included cloths seem to gradually remove the coating, so there does not seem to be much buildup. Granted, I have not used this product for years on a single pair of glasses, but my impression is that over the one-to-two year typical cycle of glasses use, it would not leave any notable residue.
