what is the best stuff for the headlights? I got a 2000 and after 8yrs the lights look dirty,kinda hazy.plus in one headlight it seems to get moisture inside it,water doesnt fill up,just condensation.help with that would be great

I use plastx with good results. But really any plastic polish, and PC7424, and a polishing pad will yield good results.

ok Ill try that! where do I pick it up at? and what about the moisture inside

mattfeet

I get mine at any autoparts store. I know Phil (Detailers Domain) will also have dedicated plastic polish that might be better than Plastx, but Ive had no bad experiences with Plastx to warrant getting something else.

The moisture is due to a bad seal around the edges of your light(s). You might need to take some silicone sealant and put it on the edges of your light and smooth it out real nice. This happened in my previous car after I painted the inside of the headlights and the aforementioned method worked well to seal them back up.

wetsanding it with 2000 grit sand paper and then compounding it might give you better results then just plastic x. I always just used heavy duty comopund when I detailed cars. you can probablt pick some up at the auto store for a few bucks.

nice find wanabe!

I use plastix + polishing pad as well. works great. usually top off with a sealant, then rainx.

hmmm

interesting

I have ordered some plastx (in the UAE everthing has to be ordered ), but after 7 years without a clean they are BAD!!

Should I go with some 2000 before a PC polish with Plastx????
