Default 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?

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.
