I tried this stuff for the first time on my boss`s Lincoln with some extremely yellowed headlights, so bad he didn`t drive at night because the HL were almost useless.

I did this all by hand (with cotton terry for more bite) and with a lot of pressure and speed (not sure if it was needed though). It was fairily easy to use, much like a chrome polish or any other polish by hand and came off effortlessly. It took about 3-4 passes to get the HL to look like new again, but it still wasn`t as much work as I anticapated. It also leaves a very smooth, swirl/light scratch free finish. For $6 for 8oz it is well worth it. I only used about 1/2 oz or so too, so it doesn`t take too much.



Here are the pics and I think they pretty much speak for themselves.

That`s amazing. I realy like the Mothers products they always deliver great resuts. Next time try the powerball with power metal polish, then finish up with plastic polish.



Great work.

Holy cow...you polished the corner light so much it disappeared! :eek:



The headlights look great. Mothers Plastic Polish and PlastX have both worked very well for me to remove headlight hazing.

Looks good! The car could do with a good cleaning though, heh.

I`ve been getting good results using Poorboys SSR2.5.

Yes the car could use a gooooooood cleaning, but my boss doesn`t make too much money and doesn`t really care about his paint. :( I did the lights for free just for a test of the plastic polish. Maybe one day I`ll talk him into given me a couple of bucks to detail it, then I`ll post pics in the click and brag, which should be good because it hasn`t been washed is a year! He used to have a civic that wasn`t washed in 5 years!!! I just wish he still had that so I could do that. ;)
