5 min. of elbow grease, MF cloth, and Plastix

or Plastex? I don't remember(the bottle is in the car). Anyways, It did wonders on an '03 with yellow and cloudy headlight. I might try it again with a powerball in a month or so but WOW. Best $5 and 5min. maintenance I've done so far. Wasn't difficult at all.

i wish i had been that ambitious. i read about the meguiars stuff here on the forum and really wasn't expecting it to work so well. it seemed some people weren't initially successful. i personally wouldn't wait until spring. i would do it the first dry day you have. you'll be asking yourself why you didn't try it a year ago. i used a micro fiber cloth(2pk was like 3dollars from parts store) like other members suggested. I tried a little spot just to get a feel on how much to use. then i put a decent amount more and kept buffing it with one corner of the cloth. i read that it gets finer as you work it. I then wiped off any excess with the dry part of the cloth. I heard you might have to do it every month or so but I imagine it will be alot quicker and easier after the initial application. i thought it was quite amazing. like i said, i wish i had taken pics. i could show you the finished but it would just look like a regular light. you wouldn't know where i brought it from but i thought it was wasted.

thats what I use all the time, works better if you buff it with a buffer. But it owrks well by hand also.

Same here. I use plastix once a month or everytime i see some yellowing on the headlight. Its odd because i only get it on my drivers side headlight around the edges of the light. I hate it, it looks like if the headlight was beat uP! The plastix works miracles and it lasts long too.

How does this stuff work on clear bras? I had a Venture Shield clear bra installed a few weeks ago and the guy recommened Plexus which isn't available except over the internet (in a case) as far as I know. Could this be used as an alternative?
