Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's too much polishing, IMO. The last thing you want to do is polish off the layer of protectant that's on there. I just protect mine with plain old Plexus. It polishes and protects all in one step. Very easy.

can i protect with VM/EX? Will that be sufficient? I just want to keep these in best condition as possible.

I suppose you can, just do it by hand, or if you must use the PC just make it a quick pass. VM by itself works great on all plastics, I'm not sure about EX. I'd try it on a small area at first and see how it looks.

New = no need to polish.



Protection? One answer - ClearMask headlight covers.



HTH,

Interesting feedback guys . I just polished mine with AIO oh well too late haha. Granted they are brand new too, but they see alot of rocks and bugs.

How about Mother's Plastic Polish? The label says it leaves protective polymers to protect plastic from yellowing.

Dookie what do you mean?



AIO and VM are very mild. These will not hurt head lights. Megs Plastx and Mothers Plastic Polish are both much more aggressive and they are recommended for head lights.
