    Polishing rear plastic tail lamps cover.

    Which one is better to use for polishing these lamps cover using a PC?
    Menzerna Intensive Polish or Final Polish? or both?... since I already have these two available in my kit.

    Menzerna Intensive Polish should work or maybe getting one of these should do the job for you, Black Baron Plastic Lens POLISHING Kit,
    Meguiar`s Plastx Plastic Cleaner & Polish or Meguiars Headlight and Clear Plastic Restoration Kit.

    Hey,

    I tend to use Meguiar`s PlastX with a finishing pad on the PC. This works very well to remove swirls and haze in the plastic. Work the PlastX in very well until it is almost gone and then remove with the best quality MF towels as it is easy to re-haze the plastic. Then maintain with Meguiar`s M18 Clear Plastic Detailer or Plexus.

    Polishing Plastic:
    Plastic polish will not remove clarity defects that are within the plastic but it will remove external/surface scratching and oxidation (yellowing) Prior to application of a plastic polish ensure that the surface is clean and free from dust particles by washing (It is not advisable to use cleaning detergents on plastic) with a soft cloth and warm water.

    Use a plastic polish that is safe for all types of clear and coloured plastics, Lexan, Perspex, Lucite and most clear acrylics (Meguiar?s PlastX or Renovo Plastic Cleaner). Plastic polish can be hand or machine applied

    mrtonyn, please remember to post the results after using Mez on clear plastic, I gotta know, I would have said that Mez is too abrasive but then again I use Klasse AIO with great results, got a job for the Mez if you say its good.

    That dog has a hecka mug, what kind?

    After buffing real quick with PC and Menzerna Int. Polish, the lens seems to be cleaner an brighter in color. It works as a temporary solution when nothing else is around.

    I would clean/polish with Meguiars PlastX and maintain that optic clarity with Meguiars #18 Clear Plastic Detailer.
