Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Polish, Fast & Easy Clear Plastic Restorer for Headlights, Taillights, Soft Top Windows, and More, Remove Scratches, Cloudiness, Yellowing, and Oxidation, 10 oz.

Inexpensive, easy way to help with cloudy headlights. Easy to apply and easy process. Done in 5 minutes. Headlights are much clearer after using this product.

Amazing and very easy to use compared to some of these headlight restoration kit. Took the oxidation of headlights and quickly covered some minor scratches on bumpers that been there for years! Very pleased with results!

I bought this product with the intention of using it on the tail lights of a vintage car which had become dull from exposure to the sun and elements. I've used other Meguire's products in the past on my cars and had good results plus this product was reasonably priced so I thought I'd give it a shot. A little goes a long way, just put a small amount on a soft clean cloth, the manufacturer recommends a micro fiber towel or terry cloth. Then just buff the plastic with it, I used two applications, but one seemed to work fine, it didn't get too much clearer with the second one. I did notice that it gets a little hard to remove when it gets drier, so wipe it off before then. Also, after I was finished, I did notice that there were still some very tiny dots stuck to the plastic, sort of like what you'd see on a car that doesn't get cleaned and waxed enough. Not a big deal at all, they are not really noticeable unless you really look for them. Not sure if further buffing would have removed them, but didn't think it was worth the extra effort, as I said, not really noticeable at all.In a second trial I used this stuff on some solar lights in my garden. Again the plastic panels on the lights had become dull from exposure, but unlike the car, these were severely dulled to the point where you could barely see the little wires under the plastic. I did three passes with this stuff, although again, most of the progress was made in the first pass. The end result was decent, the little panels looked much clearer than before although no where near as clear as new. Not sure if further buffing would get it any clearer or if those things are just too far gone (and not the greatest quality to begin with). There is a dull sheen to the panels now, where as when new they were very glossy and clear, but some of the yellowing seems to be gone and you can see the wires underneath quite clearly now. Maybe if they'd been polished at an earlier stage of damage they would have ended up better now.To conclude, I'd say that this is a good product, it performed well. I was hoping it would work a little better on the solar panels, but as I said those are cheap quality plastic so it's to be expected. This product is probably best suited to light to medium damage and dullness, not severe. Didn't compare it to any other product so not sure if it's the best, but worked well enough for me. If you don't have any plastic polish this is a good one to add to your box of cleaners as it's proven to me that it's good for shining up just about any dull plastic not just headlights.

This does not remove scratches as many people suggest, not even minor ones. What it does do is remove various types of oxidization that causes plastic to look stained. I even tried it on my bathtub where you can get these greyish stains overtime from likely soap build or hard water build up. Almost nothing worked well and this does remove that film/stain but it's too expensive to practically use but it was a good experiment. Point is, think film, stains, oxidization remover not scratch remover. I assume the reason it works on some CDs is it might remove clean up the actual scratch grooves but it's definitely not repairing the scratches. It does work good on headlights.

I've used this polish for two very different tasks and it worked brilliantly!1. I have an older Casio wrist watch that had a heavily scratched and clouded plastic face to the point it was barely readable. I'd already purchased the same make/model as a replacement; but ordered this as a potential repair since the watch (though inexpensive) had sentimental value. I used the polish with a damp paper towel and a 1/2 pea-sized amount with a little elbow grease with light swirling. The first pass improved the clarity to a readable state, second pass looked better with just the deepest scratches remaining, third pass and the watch face looked nearly new! Damn!2. My MIL's GMC Truck had some minor oxidized/clouded headlights which needed cleanup. I'd used other kits and been happy with the results, but these also require using a power drill and a lot of effort. Using an old, dry, cotton T-Shirt and 25 cent piece, I repeated the same procedure I'd used on my watch. It took another 3-4 passes, but the results were excellent and saved at least a couple of hundred $ for the MIL.
