The other day I was trying to shine up my headlights using plastx and a powerball mini. They didn't come out how I wanted them too. It almost looked like nothing happened. They aren't yellow or oxidized I just wanted to make them shinier. Should I just use a hand applicator and plastx? Which type of applicator? MF or foam?

Re: Need help with PlastX
I usually have had better luck with microfiber applicators when using PlastX. The MF seems to have a little bit more aggression than does the foam. -
Re: Need help with PlastX
You can try by hand...
Not sure how agressive you want to get. If they are in good shape, dont want to just remove the UV coating for fun.
Can always wax them some for a bit of gloss.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Re: Need help with PlastX
I've had success with PlastX, I usually apply it by hand using a microfiber applicator. I find that plastic headlights tougher than paint, so i prefer microfiber or terry towel for headlights because they offer more bite than foam applicators. Mine usually comes out shiny and clearer, but i usually apply wax after for more shine and better protection.Comment

Re: Need help with PlastX
i used PlastX with my GG3 DA and a GG orange polish pad on my 99 Prelude prior to selling last yr, easily got rid of very light oxidation and made it nice & shiney.
Headlight protectant was not out yet, so i used a regular application of UQW.....I might buy a few of the Megs 3" DAMF pads since it seems to have a bit more bite."STRIFE" aka Phil
