Hey IK there has probably been one of these before but thought I would contribute as well. That and everyone likes looking at pictures.

First, The before pictures.







What I will use.

The MeGuiars Headlight kit.





Just a regular drill with a handle.



The first step I did was to blue tape around the headlights so I did not get the plast-x everywhere on the paint. YOU DONT WANT TO GET IT ON THE PAINT.

Here is a pic of the drivers side taping job.



Using the yellow buffer pad that came with the kit I buffed out the headlights, and the rest is history.

After the final buff on the driver headlight.



The difference








My favorite picture. I put tape down the middle to show the difference.





After both being done a few times







and of course a shot of the (unclean) engine.




I really enjoyed using this kit for the ease of it. as you can see it made a total difference and I am very pleased with the product. I bought the kit today at Wal-Mart for only 17 bucks and it came with the buffer, solution and terry cloth for the whole thing. Definitely worth the money.

 

looks great, I like that system because Plastx is pretty gentle on the plastic, it doesn't remove much material like some of the other kits out there. Looks amazing.

 

I did that on my DD altima a few months ago and the fade is coming back...be sure to put some plastic sealant on it after the plastx

OP - nice work the difference is really nice.

what do you guys recommend for plastic sealant on the lights after something like this, just regular car wax ?

 

If you had a pc and some pads, that would save you from buying the kit as they do just sell the plasti x.

I agree to make sure to get plastic specific sealant. I do believe blue magic has an over the counter product specifically for sealing headlights. I've seen it at autozone.

All of the cars I've used a wax on had the hazing come back. Could be the heat?
