See i tried that on one of my headlights and it didn't come out right. I tried 1000 grit sandpaper first, then applied it. Do you think i need a powered bufffer to get the scratches out???

Yah...i did tried using Plastic Cleaner and then a Plastic Polisher before.....but I find that using 1500 and then 2000 grit wet/sand....then 3M Rubbing Compound/Finishing Glaze works alot better....imho.

I polished out some headlights on my '99 Altima that I had using 2000 grit, rubbing compound, then waxing it. I've also heard that the Mequiar's is good, too. Your headlights look good, time for me to polish mine up!

SELOC is lucky to be sponsored by Meguiars. And this stuff is INCREDIBLE. I put write ups and pics in the ES forum and detailing forum

Hey G. That was the problem -- Pep Boys didn't have the full line of Meguiar's products. I had to order it online (along with some other Meguiar's items). If you don't mind hunting around for it, you'll probably end up finding it. But, if you don't mind spending a few extra bucks for shipping, I would tell you to just go ahead and order it from meguiars.com.

^yup, e is right. It's nice to order from Meguiars because you have your pick of the entire catalog, and shipping is only $3-$4.
