Cloudy Sti lights?
 
Been scratching my head recently about the tiny scratches on my plastic lens covers on my lights creating a cloudy effect on the surface of the plastic. Used this product on my Sti HIDs: Meguiars Plast-RX .

Fantastic stuff. Came up clear as new after very little effort at all. Took me a few searches to find this and was considering the T-Cut route, but it didn't seem right somehow. Many of you may well have already used it, but it's a new one on me and it is so good to have clear plastic again. Someone may find this useful?

Does it de-cloud the lights well?

Only one way to find out, can't say I've had that problem - and it would depend on what is causing the clouding. These polishes work like a cutting agent and skim off a minute layer of the material during the polishing to leave a clear sheen.

I wish I had done before and after. No pics I'm afraid. But it really is like night and day - squeeky clean and as new.
