Just bought my gs4 and my headlights seems to be on the dull side. Probably from wax buildup? What is the best way to clear/shine up my headlights?
Any advice?
Thanks

I used some turtle wax rubbing compound wiped it off then applied some mcguires wax on the lights led it dry a little then wiped it off... It really mad a big difference and you can see the stuff come off the headlights with the compound. Mine lights were really dirty and pretty dull.. This seemed to work for me...Good luck

sputniknyc,
I'd recommend some specialty plastic products rather than rubbing compound. There are a LOT of threads on it in this forum if you'll try to search for 'headlight' in this specific forum.
Some of the products you'll find discussed are Plastix, Meguiars 2 step plastic polish / cleaner, etc
Some examples I found by searching for cloudy headlight or headlight polish or just headlight
