Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Polish, Fast & Easy Clear Plastic Restorer for Headlights, Taillights, Soft Top Windows, and More, Remove Scratches, Cloudiness, Yellowing, and Oxidation, 10 oz.

There must not be a better formula out there ... this plastic polish was easier than applying car wax, and worked great when following directions. This liquid cleaned the fog from my 25 YEAR OLD LENSES ... I'm highly impressed.

See my before and after photos. I used Plastx on our very old 2009 Honda CRV. The headlight assemblies were yellowed and cloudy like you typically see on old cars that have been outside a lot. However, with a simple application of this product, the cloudiness and yellowing have basically disappeared! The clarity of the headlights is incredible to see. To be fair, it isn’t a perfect restoration. It won’t touch deep scratches and pitting like from rocks and debris that have left marks in the plastic, and it appears that there is some cloudiness to the INTERIOR surface of the plastic headlight assembly, so of course this won’t fix that. Even so, this product performs as described, and I’m quite impressed. For such a small time and money investment, you get mega improvement for your old headlamps. 100% worth it; 100% recommended. The look of the car is much nicer, and the effect on road illumination while driving with the lights on is better too. Note: this is not a long term fix on its own. I have done this twice now, once about 16 months ago, and again now in 3/2023. Since my initial use, the cloudiness and yellowing have returned. Still, another application of the product clears it right up. To preserve the clarity, you do need the clear coat spray, also offered by Maguire’s. I got the clear coat protector this time around, which will maintain the restored look for about a year according to the label.

Okay, so i’ve been using Meguiar's PlastX to clean up my car headlights. i was pretty pleased with how easy it was to use and the way it made the lights look clearer. it really helped reduce scratches and some of that yellowing you get over time. i also tried it on my boat’s soft windows and it worked well there too. 🌟 if you're dealing with dull or foggy plastic, this stuff can really help restore some clarity without much fuss. overall, it’s a handy product for keeping those plastic parts looking good.

Instead of wasting money on a small bottle of CD/DVD polish this works just as well and helps with polishing other stuff.

This does not remove scratches as many people suggest, not even minor ones. What it does do is remove various types of oxidization that causes plastic to look stained. I even tried it on my bathtub where you can get these greyish stains overtime from likely soap build or hard water build up. Almost nothing worked well and this does remove that film/stain but it's too expensive to practically use but it was a good experiment. Point is, think film, stains, oxidization remover not scratch remover. I assume the reason it works on some CDs is it might remove clean up the actual scratch grooves but it's definitely not repairing the scratches. It does work good on headlights.

I dont know man. I saw so many people swear this stuff will clear your headlights on YouTube but it just made mine shiny but not any clearer. I followed the instructions and got meh results. Might have to try that aluminum polish stuff.

I have used several different plastic polishes over the years. Most did the job, but the time and elbow grease required varied significantly. I have applied and polished the lenses both my hand, when the housing didn't lend itself to easy access with my buffer, and with the buffer. Cars, in the old days universally had glass sealed beam headlights. Replace the headlight you replaced the lens. For the past 30, or so, years cars have migrated to halogen bulb headlights, HID or most recently LED. Though a few have glass faced housings, most are plastic. These tend to fog and yellow over the years. Since this cuts down the light they emit, and many state's safety inspections will fail them if they get bad enough, you either have to replace them or fix them. Headlight assemblies can cost a small fortune, especially if purchased from the dealer. So, fixing them is an attractive option. There are many polishing kits on the market of varying complexity. But, I find I don't need most of the pads and accessories provided, and you usually get a very small quantity of polishing solution. They also seem costly for what you are getting. So, I choose this route, buy the polish and provide my own accessories. This Meguiar's polish is provided in a generous quantity and performed astonishingly well as compared to others I have used. My wife's Suzuki SX4 headlight housings were getting quite foggy. It literally took me several minutes each side to get them back to 95% of their original clarity using soft paper towels. The electric buffer, had I hauled it out, would have taken a single pass. This bottle will go in my car cleaning and maintenance fluids box I always carry. Because it is so easy and fast to use I will make a point of touching up the various plastic lenses around all of my cars regularly. I am quite satisfied. This polish easily gets five stars.

I've used this polish for two very different tasks and it worked brilliantly! 1. I have an older Casio wrist watch that had a heavily scratched and clouded plastic face to the point it was barely readable. I'd already purchased the same make/model as a replacement; but ordered this as a potential repair since the watch (though inexpensive) had sentimental value. I used the polish with a damp paper towel and a 1/2 pea-sized amount with a little elbow grease with light swirling. The first pass improved the clarity to a readable state, second pass looked better with just the deepest scratches remaining, third pass and the watch face looked nearly new! Damn! 2. My MIL's GMC Truck had some minor oxidized/clouded headlights which needed cleanup. I'd used other kits and been happy with the results, but these also require using a power drill and a lot of effort. Using an old, dry, cotton T-Shirt and 25 cent piece, I repeated the same procedure I'd used on my watch. It took another 3-4 passes, but the results were excellent and saved at least a couple of hundred $ for the MIL.

What can I say, at INR 2000 this is not a small investment. But when you have car OCD, you gotta do it. Meguiar's is a trusted brand they say, and I trust it now. Although, you have to follow the instructions and your arm is gonna complain for a good 30 minutes after you are done. Great quality, easy to clean, and can be used on other clear plastic surfaceds, so versatile. The product is gooey and thick, don't dilute it for best results.

Was kann PlastX? Was kann es nicht? Also, es ist kein Wundermittel. Aber ich vergleiche es gerne mit den Mitteln, die man für den größten Teil der Außenhaut vom Auto verwendet, nämlich dem Lack. Seinen Lack pflegt man nämlich im Normalfall. Er wird schmutzig beim fahren, er ist der Witterung ausgesetzt und wird dadurch langsam matter und läuft an der Oberfläche an. Man wäscht das Auto und dabei wird der Lack zusätzlich belastet. Daher geht man im Normalfall, je nach Alter des Autos und persönlichem Geschmack, so ein-, zwei- oder dreimal im Jahr dabei und wachst bzw. poliert seinen Lack. Jeder hat aber bestimmt auch schon Autos auf der Straße gesehen, bei denen man denkt: "Na, der ist aber matt. Der könnte auch mal poliert werden". Aber die Abdeckungen der Scheinwerfer, die kann man mit üblichen Autowachs nicht gleich mit behandeln. Dabei werden die auch schmutzig, sind der Witterung ausgesetzt, werden durch Waschwasser belastet usw. Hier kommt nun PlastX ins Spiel. Ist praktisch wie eine Autopolitur, aber eben für die Kunststoffabdeckungen der Scheinwerfer. Und so wie man mit einer Lackpolitur matten Lack wieder "frisch machen" kann, wirkt es auf den Abdeckungen. Ich habe es nach Herstelleranweisung eingesetzt, also auf einen Baumwolllappen gegeben (hab meiner Frau ein Geschirrtuch "entwendet" - ich hoffe sie liest dies nicht) und dann heißt es polieren, polieren, polieren ... Ich habe pro Scheinwerfer eine Stunde poliert. Wobei man sagen muss, nach einem Drittel der Zeit war das Ergebnis schon recht ordentlich. Aber ich wollte eben ein möglichst optimales Bild erzielen. Und wenn manche anderen Rezensionen bemängeln, man würde keine Steinschläge entfernen können, kann ich nur bestätigen: das stimmt. Aber, wenn ich den Lack poliere, was kriege ich dann weg? Matt angelaufene Stellen im Lack und kleine Kratzer. Und der Lack glänzt wieder. Aber Steinschläge mit Politur entfernen? Erwartet da doch auch niemand. Und genau so ist es bei den Scheinwerferabdeckungen. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Ohne Poliermaschine und ohne abschleifen waren es hinterher wieder Klarglasabdeckungen. Und nicht mehr so undurchsichtig matte, gelblich angelaufene Dinger. Bei denen alle "empfohlenen Hausmittel" wie Silberputzmittel, Scheuermilch und Zahnpasta schon ihr Versagen unter Beweis gestellt hatten. Ich persönlich empfehle übrigens, das "Headlight Protectant" von diesem Hersteller auch gleich zu bestellen. Um beim Vergleich mit dem Lack zu bleiben: PlastX ist die Politur Headlight Protectant ist dann das "Wachs", das man hinterher auf einen polierten Lack ja auch auftragen sollte. ---------- UPDATE ---------------------------------------------- Eine DVD war ab Werk zerkratzt und lies sich nicht mehr ansehen. Natürlich erst sehr spät bemerkt, es war nämlich eine Box mit einer Fernsehserie. Staffel 9, Disk 1, gerade als neue Charaktere vorgestellt werden, konnte ich nicht anschauen. Heftige Kratzer, länglich die Spuren entlang, die DVD lies sich nicht lesen. Die Standardverfahren, also mit Spülmittel reinigen und polieren mit einem Seidentuch, brachten trotz stundenlangem Polieren keine Verbesserung. Meine Überlegung war nun, dass es sich bekanntlich beim Schutzlack auf DVDs um einen Acryllack handelt. Acryllack? Acrylglas? Gleiche Bindemittelbasis! Also das PlastX rausgeholt und knapp 10 Minuten die DVD poliert. UND ALLES IN ORDNUNG! Nicht einmal mehr einen Ruckler! Das nenne ich Zusatznutzen!

Great product!

Easy to use and does a good job cleaning light to medium oxidation on polycarbonate headlights. You may have to apply a little pressure for places where the yellowing is more deep but it does get the job done. I am happy with the end product after using this on my car headlights. So far so good.
