Looking at my expensive ass jdm visors all ugly made me sad. So i decided to take action. Took some meguiars plastx, some cheapo buffing pad from home depot, and went to town. Just applied plastx then buffed it with pad and drill. I am very satisfied with the results.

Before. scratched and swirled with some white stuff on it.

Nice. Totally gonna have to do this once it gets a little warmer out. About how long did it take to do each one? Was it wicked quick with the power buffer? Can it be done to the same effect by hand?

With the buffer, it was really quick. I probably spent five minutes on each one. I tried doing it by hand, but it was taking way too long. I highly recommended the buffer
Sucka

I think an "OMG" comes to mind for this. Im TOTALLY gonna do this to mines. Baught mines for like $100 from a fellow Ephatcher and they are scuffed a bit and pretty dirty. This is why I love Ephatch. :-)
