Default How To: Yellow headlight cleaning

I use Meguiars clear plastic collection which includes everything http://www.meguiars.com/estore/produ...ro-proauto-9-1 I have use it on my lights and instrument cluster. You basically plastic cleaner #17 then following up with the polish #10 and continue to clean with #18. I just did it right now since something was having issues. It took me less than 5mins by hand to do one side. You can do this with an orbital buffer or DA polisher just be careful as this is plastic and if you build up alot of heat you will start melting the plastic. Slow with rpms and keep it moving dont stay in one spot. You can use this on any plastic, Novus http://www.mustangtuningforums.com/s...ead.php?t=2257 also makes great products. I got Meguiars since they had everything in one package.

Default Side Note

RainX Makes a product now for bugs as well as rain. I dumped a bottle into my wndshld wshr rsvr and the bugs have been sliding right off. If anything, i hit the wipers once and everything is gone no smudges or bug guts stuck on my pony's windshield

Yes, I did mine by hand. I would be careful if being aided by a polisher as you can damage them if you are too rough. Try it by hand 1st.
