if you already have hid projectors in your car then it is not your projectors...dont compare your projectors to other cars because every car has different colors and outputs...if your LENS itself seems to be foggy then just buff it out or even wetsand it then buff it....if not then go to autoparts store and buy plastic polish and hand buff with any normal rag...

me personally i would use a buffer on the headlight with 3m products because i detail cars...but if youre looking for a quick and easy fix if you dont have the tools i also recommend meguiar's plastX plastic polish(could be bought at any autoparts store pep boys,auto zone etc.)just apply it with any clean towel and do circular motions with pressure and another clean towel to wipe off excess compound...you will see the difference ..

So, I just buy the Meguir's plastX and apply with clean towel and then clean everything off. Thats it? Do I need to to apply another coat of another product or anything and is there a type of towel so it wont scratch my lights?

Yup, thats it!!! You can always apply 2nd round of Meguir's plastX, it doesn't hurt. Use micro-fiber towel, I use that to clean everything.

With ScratX and PlastX by hand you really need to go at it multiple times and you really need to put some elbow grease into it. Really push on the cloth and rub hard.

I've heard that you need to apply some kind of coating after the plastx process is done, something about to protect the lenses or something I forgot. Can someone expand on that?
