Default Run I tell you! Go to your auto store, buy Meguiars PlastiX, your headlights=new!!

I had it for awhile but did not try on my car, though Amy said it cleaned her IS 300 headlights. I figured of course, her car was new, it wouldn't do anything to my 12 year old ES 300.

I was helping a girlfriends clean her Saturn when I tried the Meguiars PlastiX on her headlights, they were a lil brown where the high beams flash. I was shocked after a little rubbing, the brown was gone. I RAN RAN RAN outside to try on my ES 300. It used to look like someone punched my ES 300 in the right eye. Now, it looks BRAND NEW!!! I was so shocked and 110% pleased. I did not do before or after pics but I will when I try on my pops SC 400 when I see him this weekend.

RUN to the store and clean those headlights with PlastiX from Meguiars!

Okay, we also did a GS yesterday so I'll post pics on that car. But here is on a Camry we worked on. Notice the difference.
Before PlastiX.

Here is the muck on the rag I used. Notice all of it on the right top side.

I hope the pics on the GS come out right. The difference is much better to see on true reflector headlights like on the GS/IS/ES, shoot, all Lexus models.

This is the best product for interior plastics like the headunit and temp controls. The old white pasty toothpaste made it more cloudy and then I bought this product as a last resort. Worked like a charm.

3m makes a really nice headlight cleaning kit that use with an ordinary drill. I have used it on 3 sets of headlights and it has worked perfectly every time. Although this removes a layer of the headlights and probably the UV coat so its not something you want to do more than a few times. The ones I used it on I also installed a clear bra on the headlights afterwards, so it wont need this kind of polishing for a while

This plastic polish will be pretty familiar to any G35 owner. The headlights would fog after even 1 month of usage. it was a bit ridiculous
