Headlight restoration
I have tried
Plexus with little effect on any real scratches or blemishes in the plastic lenses of our headlights. It does a great job of surface cleaning, but won't fix any scratches.
I had a few light to medium scratches that slightly dulled the lights. I used Menzerna polishes and a PC with
4" pads and got great results. I used
Power Gloss with a yellow pad, then
SIP with an orange pad, and finished it up with
PO106FF on a white pad. Scratches are almost imperceptible now and the lenses glisten like new.

I don't have any before pics, so pics of them now will just look like really shiny clean headlights. Not much use in that.
I'll post pics later, they're not just regular lights now.

I said I'd post pics later. But no, I'm not a fan of the Iron Man, just got them painted BO.

I had my headlights clearbra'd on the G37. The headlights on my G35 were pitted after 3 years from sand, rocks, and the elements.
