It’s not “set it and forget it” — you’ll need to apply it well, but when done right, the results are very satisfying. For long-lasting clarity, consider following up with a sealant or UV protective coating.

Bought a used car which had scratches on plastic surface next to the shifter. Worked so well! Removed all the scratches and left a nice shiny surface.

This is pretty good stuff. Don't expect it to work miracles and you'll be pleased with the results. This was recommended to use on a pair of sunglasses which is maybe not what others are here to purchase it for lol, but I hope this helps someone out there! I got this pair of Tom Ford sunglasses for $24 knowing they needed repairs. When they arrived I saw they were in pretty bad shape with all of the scratches and fading on the frames, much worse than I had anticipated. I wish I had taken an actual before photo. The first photo in my pics is actually a little after I had already started using this product. There were so many scratches on the frames, including a major one down the bridge that you can see in the photos. So that was my frame of reference for how well this product was working. I probably spent about 8-10 minutes rubbing this in gently with a chamois cloth. You can see it removed some of the micro scratches and smoothed the surface pretty well. It didn't completely get rid of the major scratch but it is a lot less noticeable. Maybe if I had kept going it would have reduced it a little more but I didn't care that much to keep going. I cleaned the frames after application and then applied a couple drops of baby oil which also helped reduce the appearance of the remaining scratches and restored the gloss. You can also use mineral oil. These look pretty good again for $24! I used such a tiny amount of this product but already used it for an art project and have plenty of other plastic things I plan to restore so it's well worth the investment.

I have a Can-Am Spyder motorcycle. I JUST purchased and installed a new windshield that was not an inexpensive upgrade to this bike. As it happened, I large rock hit my plexiglass windshield at about 70mph and caused three major scratches. Distressed of course as this was brand new and then this happened. The new windsheild did its job however, and that is why its on the bike to begin with. I caught a glimpse of the rock and it was about 3 inches wide and hat that hit me, definitely would have caused a significant injury with the force at which it hit. Its has taken some effort, but it this product was quite amazing. The abrasive used is not too harsh so it did not cloud the plexiglass at all. Each time I used it, it wiped off easily and completely and I could see a difference in getting the scratches removed. The scratches are getting removed more and more as I use the product, wipe it off and repeat the process. The area around the scratches is also highly polished and I am thinking that I will use it to take care of even the smallest nick. Have always trusted Mequiars products and this one is no exception, especially for the price. I am VERY picky about that bike and what I use on it. This is a product that I will keep for this appliction. I am a huge fan of 3M products as well and that is my standard for judgement. Quite honestly, the 3M product I used for this application, which is also amazing...just got retired in favor of this product. As well, that rock also hit my fender before slamming into my windshield. Used this same product. Scratches on the fender are gone, like they were never there. Of course, you might want to try a very small area in an inconspiquous place, which you should do with any product that removes scratches, but I would wager you will find this is a fabulous product and will not harm or mar your plastic painted surfaces where the color is mixed in or on your plexiglass/plastics.

This stuff works really well and you can see the results right away. Great price, color and great quality that can last for lots of projects. Super smooth, great bottle size, smell good, and easy to use.

Mcguire used to have a two part system for cleaning clear plastic it worked much better. Although this one works ok, it just doesn't work as good. Just like anything these days , let's make it cheaper. I mean, it's a better price then the 2 part A and B bottles, if I remember right it was more expensive , but you get what you pay for and when you're trying to make something look better , I'd rather spend a little more money and have it work better. So I hope mr. McGuire's if you read this , just make the 2 part system again!

I have an '08 and '19 Corolla, as well as a '14 RAV4. The '08 was the worst, followed by the RAV4. The '19 Corolla headlights were in the best condition. I was scoping out various products that required the use of electric drills and varying grit sanders. I had already used teflon pads to scrub/clean. But then I came across a video by Scotty Kilmer. What the heck, a bottle of cleaner and a can of protectant spray. I haven't used the aerosol protectant yet, but I tried the cleaner on all three Toyotas. IT WORKS GREAT!! Just a microfiber cloth for the product, and a damp paper towel to wipe off excess. Just a tad of "elbow grease", and the '08 headlights look brand new! As do the RAV4 headlights. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Worked well on my 27 year old convertible top windows. Quick and easy to apply

What can I say, at INR 2000 this is not a small investment. But when you have car OCD, you gotta do it. Meguiar's is a trusted brand they say, and I trust it now. Although, you have to follow the instructions and your arm is gonna complain for a good 30 minutes after you are done. Great quality, easy to clean, and can be used on other clear plastic surfaceds, so versatile. The product is gooey and thick, don't dilute it for best results.

Ca reste cher mais top pour rénover des plastics brillant comme les phares (avant ou arrière-). Ca aide sur les bulles moto, mais perso j'ai du mal à obtenir un beau résultat impeccable comme sur des phares avant (les bulles sont trop fragiles). A utiliser avec une très bonne microfibre sans pression pour des résultats de correction subtils (black piano, micro rayures...) ou avec un mousse de polysage sur machine rotative c'est mieux pour un phare par exemple

Mein Astra-G ist nun 15 Jahre und 5 Monate alt. Er stand den Arbeitstag immer im Carport und ansonsten unter freiem Himmel, aber mit der Front gegen eine Hauswand. Durch die Witterung und Pollen sind beide Scheinwerfer ziemlich grün geworden. Ein Austausch der Scheinwerfer ist eine Heidenarbeit. Nicht mehr wie früher: Vier Ecken, vier Schrauben und raus ist das Teil. Nein, man muss die Stoßstange ausbauen und um die auszubauen, muss man die Kotflügel demontieren. So greift Eins ins Andere ... ... So also habe ich mir diese Politur bestellt. Ich kenne solche Produkte ja von früher, als man Handydisplays noch polieren konnte, wenn da mal ein Kratzer drin war. Zuerst habe ich mit einem Schwamm von Hand poliert und mit einem Microfasertuch die Rückstände abgewischt. Das Ergebnis war, dass die grüne Patina zum Teil wegging. Aha, es scheint also zu klappen! Dann habe ich mit dem Microfasertuch poliert und das Ergebnis war schon ganz gut. Die grüne Patina ging vollständig weg. Aber es blieben noch einige "Wolken" von Kratzern übrig, die sich schnell auch wieder mit Schmutz zugesetzt haben. Jetzt musste "rohe Gewalt" her, in Form des BOSCH DIY Polierschwammes http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0053PVU9W/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1 Den in den Akkuschrauber eingespannt und eine Akkuladung pro Scheinwerfer poliert. Dabei hat sich der Kunststoff merklich erwärmt. Daher weiß ich, dass diese Behandlung jetzt genau richtig funktioniert. Das Geheimnis einer guten Politur ist die Wärmeentwicklung, die das Material von den "Gipfeln" abschmilzt und in die "Täler" einbringt. Ergebnis: Beide Scheinwerfer vom Astra sehen nun wieder aus, wie neu. Sämtliche Kratzer und Mikrokratzer sind verschwunden. So denke ich, dass das Ergebnis auch langlebig sein wird. Es ist einfach nichts mehr da, in dem sich die Pollen festsetzen können. Das Acrylglas, welches ich zuvor noch als "Kunststoff" bezeichnet hatte, ist nun wieder so durchsichtig wie Glas. Wenn man mit der Hand über das Acrylglas streicht, hat man das gute Gefühl, dass es nun glatt geworden ist! FAZIT: Diese Politur, einen Polierschwamm für die Maschine und Geduld. Dann wird das was mit den Scheinwerfern. Nur dran denken, dass beim Polieren immer Material abgetragen wird. Irgendwann ist auch der dickste Kunststoff "wegpoliert".
