Big scratch on Headlight
I was in a hurry this morning and as I was pulling out of the driveway I hit one of my family's car. 
Now my S has scraches in the front bumper and on my right Headlight. The scrach on my headlight is big, wide and long but not deep. My question is Do you know of any products that remove those nasty scratches? I have tried Plexus, Lexol but they did not help much. Thanks

Only way to get rid of the scratch is too remove material ..... start with 200grit sandpaper and wet sand ... then smooth it with finer and finer papers until you can buff it out by hand or with a machine......
Dont just sand the scratch or you will sand a groove that will be noticable even after you polish the headlight ....
sand lightly and CHECK PROGRESS OFTEN.... remove as little material as possible ....
Good luck ....
