Haven't used this but meguires cleaner and sealant does quite well in clearing up a UV worn clouded headlight by itself without polishing, even. Like it's not like a grind and polish but the spray on sealant does a good job filling in and smoothing out the surface which then allows light through better again.

I had tried one or two products to solve my cloudy headlight lenses but nothing did a great job and worse they didn't last even a month on my 2007 Pathfinder.

Not only do they look better my headlights have greatly improved my vision for night driving. Thanks...

Good to hear! I’m glad the video helped you!

It absolutely does work but fairly gentle so if the plastic is badly damaged you need to start with more aggressive products before finishing off with PlastX. Adding a layer of good quality wax is a must to protect the finish and for that extra like-new shine. Tons of how-to videos on youtube.

If you use clearcoat on top, you dont need to polish. Spray directly on fine sanded plastic, the surface texture helps clearcoat to bond. Then sand it again to remove any orange peel and wax just like you would your paintwork.

I did the gauge cluster on my 2007 Tundra with Plastx. Two applications, and a little elbow grease and the cluster sparkled. Did it look brand new....no, but it was a huge improvement none the less. I did it by hand, but if you had a Dremel with the right tip I bet they would sparkle. I used Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on my headlights. It's a little more aggressive than Plastx, and when used with a RO polisher they come out fantastic. Your headlights did turn out well.

Love this stuff! I keep a bottle in the car. First time I used it I had to wet sand the head lights because they were yellow. Then I buffed them with this stuff and they turned out like new. When I detect the headlights starting to yellow or look weathered I lightly polish them with the PlaxticX and they pop like new again. Also use it on the tail lights and it makes them deep and rich in color making them look like new.

After you use the PlastX to “clear” up your headlights, follow up with the Meguiar’s Headlight Coating Spray. That will prevent the headlights from turning back to yellow or fogging back up. I plan on doing a video about that product in the future. Here is a link to the product: Meguiar's G17804 Keep Clear Headlight Coating, 1 Pack a.co/d/fbUSV6b
