PlasticX Too Harsh?
Plastic X seems to be causing holograms and swirls on my gauges or rear lights. Fronts not so much, I am guessing because plastic is harder. Meguiar's Cleaner Wax made my gauges like new where plastic X messed it all up.
Should I stay away from plastic X?

You're probably getting good results with the cleaner wax because it's loaded with fillers.

PlastX from what i remember is light compared to some of the other cleaners out there. Im not sure about the up and down motion, but the circular with light pressure should be just fine.

When you refer to the "gauge", do you mean the gauge cluster(speedo, tach, etc.)? I've applied PlastX to my gauge cluster cover and it actually took some type of layer off of the cover. Left tons of swirls. Big mistake. I was able to polish most of it out with NXT.
