Default using MOTHERS PLASTIC POLISH for headlights

i have a 1999 gs400 and it seems to have the condensation problem in the headlight. some people have said that its mostly on the outside and you can use a plastic polish.i heard some say once that they used megiurs plasticx or something, but i couldnt find any in pepboys so i picked up a bottle of mothers plastic polish. ill see what happens tomorrow after i clean the car, clay bar and but a new coat of wax. ill post pictures tomorrow after its wash. wish me luck with the mothers plastic polish....

Some guys say that also Meguiers Scratch X works good on the headlights. I tried that before and it seemed to help out.

Default Plastic Polish

I use the 3M plastic polish. Its a little pricey. But better than the others I have tried.

I second that, it works great. Got it from NAPA.
