Default Stone chips on lights

Someone (Shiskine I think) was telling me on the Arran meet at the weekend that you can get rid of stone chips on the lights with an apprpriate cutting paste. Is this true, and if so what have you used. My lights look terrible from the amount of chips, I think the previous owner of my car was a bit of a tailgate driver from the condition of my bonnet, front bumper, windscreen ahnd lights

Would Plexus, Scratch x or Tcut do the job?

Plexus will do it - depends how deep the stone chips are

Cheers Ian, I'll get myself some. Is there somewhere particularly cheap online to buy it?

Yup.

It certainly protects the clear plastic parts by waxing them and removing impurities.

You might have to do some serious rubbing, in order to remove gravel rash.

Duraglit or Brasso will remove deep scratches too - then you will need to use plexus to remove the fine ones that leaves behind
