I tested some Meguiars Plastx on my wifes Jetta headlights. It was only a spot test for right now, but will do both headlights and my very own Si headlights next weekend. Here is a quick swf of the test area results. It actually started to work pretty good with just 2 applications in the same area.

Hope this works. I hate how my headlights are half faded and half perfect

by the way I lived in C-Town for 12 years. I will be coming up there this weekend to do my oil change, brake job at my parents place, since I don't have a floor jack or jack stands.

That looks good. just curious, are you doing it by hand or with a buffer? I did mine yesterday, wetsanded with 1500, then 2000 grit sandpaper that a few applications of plastx by hand, then with a buffer. It really makes a huge difference.

When i Bought my '02 used, the headlights looked like s**t. looked up a DIY for wet sanding and polishing compound with a little NXT wax on top. Headlights are lookin brand new. :msmile:
