Head Light polish

I recently ordered some polish from Meguirs for clear plastic, PlastX. I used it today on the headlights, which was the main reason for getting it. It definately made a big difference on clarity. I had used some ATF before and it cleared it up, but would get dirty quick, same thing with tooth paste. I guess time will tell if this stuff works better or not.

I'd like to see if that Flitz polish works as well. They sure advertise it enough.

Does it help get rid of the scratches and rock dings?

I think you mean ScratchX by meguiar's.. Ya.. it is good stuff.. also excellent for taking out the minor scratches in your dash plastic that covering your speedo, etc..

The stuff I ordered is

https://www.meguiars.com/estore/product_list.cfm?sectionname=Consumer%20(Meguiar's %20Brand)>Clear%20Plastic%20Care&sectionID=15101
(may have to cut and past into new address bar as the link is apperently not supported)

I am very impressed, after three weeks the headlights still look clean and clear, didn't seem to pick up much dirt either. That was my concern, I didn't want it to look clear until the first dust storm then pick up all the dirt and be worse than just hazy.

I just use turtle wax rubbing compound and then seal it with wax. Clears the lights up very nicely and they stay clear for quite a while. Just my .02
