Product for Headlights/Tailights

[04v8s4]

Hey ladies and gents,



Quick question about headlight/tailight correction. Is a dedicated plastic polish required for removing swirls? Could i use a light cut paint polish like 106ff or something equivalent?



Also, what is the proper dilution ratio for IPA wipedowns? Where`s the best place to get IPA in decent sized quantities?



Thanks in advance.

Well as for the headlight/taillight correction i would lightly wet sand then follow it with a medium foam pad with a polish....GoodLUck

For me and my PC (was :(), I used a 4in white LC pad and a bottle of IP and it worked pretty well. Did not have to sand or anything...

The headlights/tailights are in good shape. There are light swirls that slightly reduce the clarity of the plastic. I dont think they require any sanding...but perhaps someone could recommend a good plastic polish for something like this.



Thanks,

Nick

clean well with soap & water

Plexus, several passes, then some Klasse AIO, at least that`s what I use...

It REALLY varies job by job. Sometimes something fairly gentle like PlastX or ScratchX will do the job in a single step.



Others requires 2-3 levels of wet sanding followed by M105, M86, and then PlastX for extra clarity for me.



But, bottom line is, don`t be afraid to play around with traditional polishes as many work well on plastic. I like finishing with Meguiar`s PlastX regardless because it is formulated specifically to produce especially high gloss and CLARITY on plastic. It also leaves a special protective coating.
