Default Just used some Meguiars Plastx on headlights

Hey guys just bought a 93 sc300 not too long ago and they came with some headlights that were yellow and dull (I'm guessing originals, 116k). I had some Meguiars Plastx laying around so I decided to try it out. I know they probably don't look as clean as from buffering/polishing, but I am pretty happy with the results for the time spent (~5 minutes). Sorry I forgot to take some before pics of them , but here are the results:

This is what I used

Thanks....If you guys are going to try this make sure you apply in one direction (Vertically). Try to avoid going in circles as they may cause swirl marks.

Looks like mine did after meguires Plastx. You should do that every once in a while to keep that new look.
