Hello, Long Time no See.

PlastX Is a great product. It clears the oxidation from your headlights to improve clarity and visibility. This is simple to use. First, Shake the product well. Second, squeeze out a medium size amount on a microfiber applicator pad. Then follow the next 2 steps as shown in the next pictures.

With medium pressure, rub in the product around the headlight. Please rub in a circular motion. Overlap 4-5 times.

Buff out and remove excess product by getting a microfiber towel and rubbing the product off with light to medium pressure. Then you have your end result as the picture shows.

Thanks for viewing and please leave feedback if possible. Feed back please

Also my detailing Facebook page is linked below. I'm starting to write my reviews there as well. Have a nice day

Meguiar's PlastX is one of the products that I use frequently.
 
Tried this method with hand and boy my headlight is so dead it only tickle it lol. I'm waiting for my backing plate to come to start a buff. I'm trying to stay away from sanding. So hopefully it'll work.
 
I love plastX I have always had great results, even using it by hand on light oxidation.
 
plastx is what i use with an orange 3" pad and hand apply litely to my car stereo face that gets lite scratches and maring over time, takes it out and restores clarity every time!
 
PlastX is a good product. I use it on headlights, taillights, even the plastic hood and side panels on my Cub Cadet. I use a white or green CCS pad on the DA. Takes out sanding scratches from 2000 grit sandpaper. Also use on the gloss plastic interior panels.
 
I've used it on oxidized headlights for several years and really like it.

I've always applied it by hand, but I'm looking forward to the results I'll get with a polisher, now that I own one.
 
I've used it every three months since buying my RAV in 08', brand new.
They still look like the day I bought the car.
I now seal it with Griot's Paint Sealant then top with NXT wax.
IMO its the best way to keep them from yellowing and hazing.
A bottle last and last.
 
I have a bottle sitting on the shelf that I think I only used once and never touched it again. Maybe I should give it a try on some headlights or tail lights.
 
it looks like you rubbed it on a headlight that was already clear and in good condition... hence if it was good before, rubbing this and buffing off, it will still look good...

if you use hand application and do "5 overlaps" with hands, at best you are just adding temporarily protection, you need a machine to do any real correction on headlights
 
I really feel I can keep my headlamps looking new as long I maintain them using PlastX.
Never used a machine on my RAV 's lamps but did have to on my truck which is 17 years old.

I can't tell you how many cars I see each day with frosted lamps, my sister being one of them, I told her once I'm well I'll fix them for her plus give her a full pain correction for all she does for me.

this product has been around forever and it does what it claims like most all megs products. i think i have a bottle in the garage somewhere that's many years old that i need to dig up lol. also, one product that works well on headlights (as well as smooth black trim) is dg601. does a great job on taking off the oxidation/dirt/contamination...
 
Just received PlastX in trade via the AGO Samples thread...thanks Biatchzxz (screen name).

The directions include: "Not for use on painted surfaces, not for use on coated surfaces or LCD or navigational system displays."

I understand that PlastX has diminishing abrasives in it. Is there something else in it that makes using it on paint ill advised?
 
It says not to use on paint so I don't, however I did a small spot and polished using PlastX and didn't see any ill effects but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do,the company knows best.
Sure works great of headlamps though.
