Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish - Revive Cloudy, Hazy, and Lightly Scratched Plastics, Restore Clarity - 10 Oz

I use this great product every few months on my car headlight covers. It is truly magical to remove built-up film. I recently gave a bottle to my adult daughter, and did the first cleaning myself. She said it made a huge and positive difference while driving at night in a busy city. Highly recommend this product.

A friend of mine turned me on to this, sadly after I had bought a $20 ceramic kit, which I never used! It may not do quite as great a job as the kids, but it works pretty darn good, and it's super quick! I love, love, love it!

I''ve got a six-month old Porsche with a small spoiler on the back which tucks and rises according to speed. I never touch it and when I was recently washing the car I noticed a 45º two-inch surface scratch as if something hit it in a kind of a glancing strike. Using a quality real wax with microfiber didn't do much and might have even made it somewhat more noticeable. It doesn't seem to be a gouge as running one's finger across it doesn't seem to give the feel of the scratch itself. So, I thought this stuff might be worth a try.I will say this, at least in my case, isn't a miracle polish. The first time did not remove the scratch, but what it did do is somehow it reduced ever so slightly the noticeability of the scratch. That might be better than it even sounds as I'm grooved to see it since it's a small imperfection on an otherwise completely shiny and smooth plastic rear air spoiler. So far repeated applications did not completely remove the scratch either, but they do help hide it over anything I've tried. I'm going to give this 4-stars as I feel it does some good and does no harm doing so. I think it may possibly work better on some plastic trim items as the Porsche plastic is so rigid and hard that it might be unique as such.

I use this on all sorts of plastic items other than just headlight covers. I did use it on the headlight covers on my old truck (a 2000 model) and it removed the yellow haze easily. I did have to re-do it a few months later but it worked well again. Using it 2-3 times a year keeps these old headlights clear. I also use it to restore the plastic (Cellidor) scales on my collection of Swiss Army Knives. This brings back the shine to dull scales with a bit of buffing (I just use a microfiber cloth). I've used this same bottle for all the applications on my headlights and for at least 20 Swiss Army Knives. The bottle is still more than half full. One bottle goes a long way as it doesn't take much.

Great product

The very large headlamp lenses on our 2014 Ford Focus had become terribly translucent due to sunlight ( i.e. UV ray ) damage, because the car was never garage-kept.In order to restore those lenses I had to use my cordless electric hand drill with a Harbor Freight ( Chicago Electric ) #34743 ( Chicago Electric ) 4” loose cotton buffing wheel ( with ¼” shank ) with this product. Even though the drill speed was set to maximum, I still had to apply considerable pressure. After I wiped it it off with a paper towel, the results looked good from 15' away, but standing close to the car I was a bit disappointed with the results. So I went over it again one more time using a little less polish and a lot more pressure. Amazingly, my drill still had enough battery charge left to power this considerably greater torque load. That 2nd polishing came out slightly improved over the first. So I let it be, figuring there would be "diminishing returns" with additional polishing iterations. In the final assessment the lenses were restored to FAR better condition than they were in before the job began. However, up close you can plainly see that they're a cut below new condition. My wife was delighted with the finish, but for the amount of time I put into it, I was a bit disappointed.TIPIf you have UV damaged headlamp lenses, forget about any idea of using this polish using nothing more than hand buffs plus a LOT of elbow grease via your tiring arms. Mark my words, after spending an hour on the first lens you'll be too disgusted to repeat all of that arduous work in order to repeat the disappointment of the first lens. So get yourself a 4" dia loose cotton buff that can be mounted in your cordless electric drill ! Note that the buff is not used like a floor polishing machine, i.e. you must use the radial ( not facial ) surface of the buff. And you might need 2 full battery charges in order to complete one lens restoration.
