You gotta use Arm & Hammer with baking soda and peroxide :) I haven't had the need to clean up the headlights yet but I've used Meguiars plastic cleaner and polish on motorcycle helmet visors. I wonder if the polish or PlastiX used once a year or so as PM would work.
Same here. I have a tube of Arm & Hammer but I don't use it regularly. otoh Colgate Extra Super Whitening doesn't do much for tea and coffee stains. Sometimes I wonder which is worse, using the abrasive toothpaste or spending quality time with a dental hygenist polishing my fangs with flour of pumice?
That would be my guess. Now days, everything in America is made in China, except for Mexicans.

Union regulations limit them to pulling Santa's sleigh one night a year. It's the union's fault.

try peanut butter instead.
the power polish restorers work well but can be time conumsing, once polished they appear to fog faster....
i wonder how the liquid type work?
I've successfully used 3M paste on crappy Hella BMW headlights.
Probably resists uv.

Use non-gel toothpaste. I used it and it worked great. Plus my headlights smelled minty fresh. All those restorer kits are are some mild abrasive paste which removes a thin layer of the plastic.

I gave it 5 stars on Amazon. Worked well on a 2001 Mitsu Eclipse and a 1993 Grand Am. No buffers or drills. Took about 15 minutes total for both cars. Rub it using a cotton rag, and wash it off with Windex. It's like using Brasso. Smells like Brasso.
