This stuff works wonders! But word of advise, this product only works on slightly/mildly oxidized headlights. Any headlight with heavy oxidation and yellowing will have to be properly sanded and polished for them to be back to normal conditions. You will have to reapply PlastX after a few months. Your headlights will start to fade over time if left outside in the elements.
I tell people to wet sand with 3000 grit before, the 3000 removes all of the oxidation and contamination, levels light swirls and scratches, by doing this you don’t contaminate your pads, making the polishing step with plastx much easier and effective.
@@STILLNIGHTPEARL ok ty you surprised I got an answer since post was pretty old lol. But soon i will be doing a paint correction on my car so I figured I’d go the whole way and get headlights cleaned up too
This is just to remove the oxidation. Keep protection like spray wax or sealant on it or you'll have to do it pretty frequently. You're removing the coating that soaks up the UV rays so you need a sacrificial barrier

Use liquid wax 3 in 1 to make it last

Do I wet send or just sand it down dry
@@TerpCrazy you can do either, just make sure to clean the surface after if you dry sand.

@@TerpCrazy haha sometimes I miss those replies, but yeah i am still around. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I’ll help anyway I can.
Sure does! I just polished 20 year old headlamps on our auto!
The first step is good but always coat w/ UV-resistant clear coat or you'll yellow too soon again
Harbor freight tools have a da polisher get the Chicago electric it’s the best beginners and budget da polisher.

How does it hold after some time?
Repeat every 6 months if you park in the sun
