Hell for $9 whats there to lose.

But if there deep scratches your still going to have to do couple steps and sand them some.

That stuff works. you may have to sand some first.

 

I took the suggestion from PaulieB over on E2S. He does some great work.

 

I did mine. I had no scratches, just fading so no sanding for me. I did not think it would work. I took some 0000 steel wool, smothed it all out. I then used Orange Glo floor finish. Put it on in several even coats, and it worked. Shined up good. I need to redo it b/c it has some runs in it. I thought it was not working, so I picked it up a few times to look at it and it ran some.

Plastic Renew also works great.

I have used Mop & Glo to restore the shine.

Plastic Renew also works great.

yea i saw this product on the internet. its for cars right. it comes in cans and gal form right. a lil expensive

Do not use Plastic Renew. The first time you spill any kind of petroleum products on the plastics treated with it, or get any kind of grease, or oil removers on it, the crap will dissolve, or peel right off.

Well I bought the meguirs headlight restore kit that comes with the buffing pad. I'm having so/so success with it so far. I will post up a pic this weekend after I get one side of the rears done.

I've been buffing the headlights of cars for years with great success. I also have a 3" orbital air powered high speed buffer which works plastic like a dream. Take your time and dont burn or melt anything

What polish are you using and what pads on the buffer? I'm using a die grinder with a cotton polishing pad. It leaves the plastic cloudy in some spots and looks great in other areas. What am I doing wrong?

I've sprayed Mop & Glo with my paint spray gun with great succes. Turn down the flow and apply light coats let dry between them. You get a good build up with no runs Worked great.
