Looks like you found a good product. glad i don't need that quite yet.

Set a calendar reminder in your outlook and give us a 3-month and a 6-month upate on how it lasts over the summer months. Be nice to hear how it looks long term as well. Glad you posted it.

anyone ever tried a powerball with mag and aluminum polish? It worked awesome on some of my previous vehichles that were much worse. They stayed clear too

the problem is that the plastic is no being sealed by a protective uv coating which is the reason the turn hazy and yellow the coating starts to chip away and it exposses the plastic and it gets damaged. So if all you do is buff it, it will begin to haze because the plastic is left expossed and as soon as it rains and you wash your car the polish comes off.

Here are some headlight lenses that I reconditioned today on a 2000 Jaguar S

Here is a Youtube video of me in action correcting these Jaguar headlight lenses.. As you will see this repair utilizes the "Pro's" version of the 3M kit not available at auto parts stores. Uses pneumatic grinder and polisher for a true 6 step polish that leaves your lenses crystal clear.
