Hey ladies and gents,



Quick question about headlight/tailight correction. Is a dedicated plastic polish required for removing swirls? Could i use a light cut paint polish like 106ff or something equivalent?



Also, what is the proper dilution ratio for IPA wipedowns? Where's the best place to get IPA in decent sized quantities?



Thanks in advance.

Well as for the headlight/taillight correction i would lightly wet sand then follow it with a medium foam pad with a polish....GoodLUck
 
For me and my PC (was :(), I used a 4in white LC pad and a bottle of IP and it worked pretty well. Did not have to sand or anything...
 
The headlights/tailights are in good shape. There are light swirls that slightly reduce the clarity of the plastic. I dont think they require any sanding...but perhaps someone could recommend a good plastic polish for something like this.



Thanks,

Nick
 
clean well with soap & water

Plexus, several passes, then some Klasse AIO, at least that's what I use...
 
It REALLY varies job by job. Sometimes something fairly gentle like PlastX or ScratchX will do the job in a single step.



Others requires 2-3 levels of wet sanding followed by M105, M86, and then PlastX for extra clarity for me.



But, bottom line is, don't be afraid to play around with traditional polishes as many work well on plastic. I like finishing with Meguiar's PlastX regardless because it is formulated specifically to produce especially high gloss and CLARITY on plastic. It also leaves a special protective coating.
