Default 3M or Meguiar's

Which one would you go with? I need it for my Acura which has some pretty bad oxidation.

I've used both the 3M kit and Meg's PlastX with a polishing pad a PC. Both worked well.

3M owns Meg's btw.

I had the Meguires Heavy Duty kit and was VERY impressed with it. All of my friends tried it out too while I had it. Now I need to get some more

ive used them all, ive never been impressed with the longevity of any of them, after a few months, they get oxidized again. The best ive found is sylvanias kit, it comes with a very potent clear coat that seals the headlights from uv rays that keeps the uv rays away from the plastics for a very long time. i used it on my civic last year (after using all other types of headlight buffing kits on this car and others) and they are still like new.
