I was cleaning my new used Lexus 2002 GS300 and noticed the headlights to be dirty and used windex on them. Now there seems to be a build up of old wax on them causing them to look dirty. What's the best way to get the plastic back to its clear glassy look?

Or any plastic cleaner/polisher will work wonders for fine scratches, dirt, and wax buildups on headlights/taillights

 

Hi Ken, welcome to ClubLexus! I'm in Charlotte (noticed you are from NC).

There are lots of posts on this topic, please try our search feature and look for 'plastic polish' 'clean headlights' or other keywords.

My recommendations is Plastix or a Meguiars two stage plastic cleaner and plastic polish.

Here are a few threads to get you started

My opion - you really need a machine to do the job right (random orbital, etc). Alternatively, I know my local dealer Hendrick offers a service to do the job for me.
