Was doing the Meguiars 3 step thingo to my paint work with an electic buffer this morning.

The paint cleaner works a treat at cleaning the dull coating off the headlights. Beats having an expensive bottle of plastic cleaner left over with nothing else to use it on.

autosol works good 2.

anything abrasive will work, some products just requre less effort.

correct me if im wrong but i was told the plastic used for lights is petrolium baised and when they dry they start to discolour and crack, to prevent the drying and to prolong the life of the plastic you can rub vasaline ova them after cleaning, hence why a plastic cleaner was invented, to combine both steps

Hmmm, the missus knows I like my car, but I don't know what she would do if she found me lubing it up!

Providing you (or a previous owner) Hasn't tried to use Thinners Then try using Maguires PlastX..!! Been using for a while now.. I've only had to apply 3 times since December and each time weren't that bad!! (except for when I bought it of course!!)

Good luck!!
