Why not use a plastic polish?
Why not use a plastic polish?
I always apply the LSP the vehicle is getting on all the tail lights.. Of course if its a Coating, then they get that.. Never had any problems or issues, comebacks, etc..
There are some old videos of Mike Phillips using Meguiars 105 on all kinds of paint, glass, etc., and he gets excellent results too..
I am not sure because I have never seen anyone else use this product, but if its not kept just moist enough to allow it to do all of its work, then perhaps, that is 1 reason why some get different results?
When it first came out, I realized immediately, that it liked to dry up fast and just gum up your spot..
So, I just kept the pad moist, used way less product, but enough to do the spot, (had to figure out how much each time), and kept the product moist until it broke down and went away, leaving the pad to polish and clean it all up..
I think that using M105 with a Rotary also helps because its direct drive and will be faster; heck, when it first came out, to me, it was just another new Rotary compound to try out..

I`ve used the M105/M205 twins on various exterior plastics, including tail lights.
The M105 *ALWAYS* left micromarring on plastics for me, same as on paint. Sometimes I could even see it without specialized inspection conditions. Worked fine on glass, but YMMV since different autoglasses can be very different.
The M205 would initially look OK, but once the TSO (yeah...my ol` bete noir ) dissipated things looked *TERRIBLE*. I`ll never try it on anything plastic again (not that I plan to use it again period).
Most times the cars I do are one steps so I hit the tail lights while doing the back of the car. They always come out much improved. Id start with the least aggressive method first.
