You be the Judge.. (healight cleaning product)
Fortunately my headlights don't leak, but they defiantly have yellowed..
So a couple months ago I bought some TurtleWax 'Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound' as I figured it would get the yellow out. But I ended up being stuck with the same yellow lights, it didn't work.
Today I went to Canadian Tire and saw BlueMagic 'Headlight Lens Restorer' which says on the bottle that its specifically designed to remove yellowing. So I decided to give it a shot cuz it was only $8.99.
Surprisingly the stuff worked great! My headlights looks much better than before, and I only applied it once! The bottle says it apply it a few times for best results, so I'm going to give it another shot tmrw and see what happens. But as it looks now I'm ecstatic! Defiantly saves me from calling Carson Toyota and buying new ones for $300 as I was planning on doing. I really recommend giving this stuff a shot if your having yellowing issues..
Anyways, heres the product, and I've included before and after pics of my headlights.

Not bad, try meguiars plastx as well: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=plastx
Best thing for the outside is to use an electric polisher and have a body shop clear coat it. For the inside, you will need to open it up.

None of this will clean your projectors. Who cares if the lights look good, wax is for paint, paint is supposed to be pretty. Headlights are supposed to function and these 9,000 threads on how to make them pretty doesn't do a damn thing for the dirty projectors inside.
Do it right if you're gonna do it!
It's like saying my engine runs like crap so I painted it red now it looks great.

I'm just surprised at how well this $8.99 product worked at exactly what I wanted it to do, which was get rid of the yellow, and I decided to share my experience with you guys!

Yeah sorry I didnt think the pics would turn out so bad, then it got too dark out to take them with a proper camera.
I'll shoot some more tmrw if you guys like.. but as I said before, the product works surprisingly well; so just picture 'yellow lights', then 'not yellow lights' haha.

All the guy is doing is giving info about a inexpensive product to help with a flaw in our car, dont think this is any reason to bite his head off. Now if it was another PlastiX or sandpaper thing I could understand but I havent heard of this product yet and enjoy reading the review. Just my 2 cents

I have tried the product that scENFORCER used.
Really good, I did it 4 times, and lot of sweat and some electric buffer,
It's quite good. They are all the same with plasticX or maguire's, because I have them all,l and I used them all.
You need to do it more man, about 5 to ten times buffing, i dont think u buff enough-
Cheers-
