  • 2001 MR2 headlights

    After reading some of the posts on here about headlight restoration I decided to see if waxing them would help. I used Meguiar's cleaner wax followed with Tech Wax 2.0. This removed 90% of any clouding I had. My question is should I be happy with the 90% or would another of the Meguiar's product take away the rest. I want to avoid sanding if at all possible as the lights look almost new at least now they do.

    Try PlastX, should take the rest out although it does look pretty darn good right now.

      Try PlastX for sure. If cleaner wax got 90% out then PlastX should get them perfect.

      What machine are you using? Drill, DA, or rotary?

        I used M105 on the tail lights of our Yukon, turned out great. Did it by hand.

        PlastX will do a great job as well.

        By the looks of it, I don't think sanding is necessary. My Yukon headlights looked worse than that when I started and did it by hand (then later by rotary) with PlastX, took more than one pass, so be patient

          Plast-x will be the answer. They look pretty good now.

            Thanks for the responses. I did it by hand. I will try the the Plast-X and see how it goes. I have used Meguiar's products on my cars, boat, and golf cart and have never been disappointed.
