That product is amazing. The first time I used it I didn't recognize my car and walked past my car cause the headlights looked like a new car and I was use to my old yellow headlights and fogs.

Default time to try it out

Yeah so i felt like young frodo on a qwest. this stuff wasnt easy to find. But the Checkers autoparts was the key. Every other place in colorado springs has heard of it but just dont carry it.
So tomorrow im going to tackle headlights, floods, and tail lights. Well see how it does.

Well it was a really nice day today, so I got out and washed my car, and then decided I'd go ahead and try this stuff... and all I can say is WOW! I didnt really know what to expect, even with 1Sick's great results, so I was stunned when I saw the results. My passenger side headlight had stuff on it, and this stuff cleaned it right up! Here's the proof:

Walmart and Autozone dont seem to have it. Any other retail store where I can find it? Or any online shop where it can be purchased from?

Never mind. I found a great deal on ebay for $15 dollars for two of these including shipping and taxes.

God Bless.

"Scratch Out", which I had originally bought for the cars paint, worked well for me on my headlights. I'd say to try that, or a similar paint scratch removing product, before buying yet another car care product.

Default Also try Meguiar's Scratch-X

Another alternative (if Meguiar's PlastX is not in your area) is to apply Meguiar's Scratch-X (comes in a black bottle, in liquid form). This applicant is used to hide fine scratches and eliminate oxidation not only from the car's body, but also from headlights and tailights. I have Scratch-X and used it the other day to get rid of some minor hazing on one of the headlights in my '01 ES, and it did a fantastic job after some elbow grease.

This bottle costs around $6 and can be found at your local Wal-mart or Target

I use PlasticX too. But the problem is that the headlight goes back to developing a yellow film after a few months. Maybe water-proofing UV protectect will solve this problem?

Any ideas?
