Plastx Made A Mess on My Headlights

The product in the mustard bottle was probably just any abrasive clear coat polish that could remove 1000 grit sand paper marks, nothing special. A skilled detailer who knows the proper technique with a buffer and has the proper polish shouldn't have any problem removing the marks.

dont let plastx sit to long esp if its hot out... what i did to get rid of the streaks was just reapply more plastx but remove it as soon as your done applying it, use microfiber the plastx will remove itself if you apply more and do it quick

No girl is going to see your headlights and say "man, those are the crystal clearest headlights in the world........ I want to have your children."
And that's about the only thing that would make it worth it. So I say leave it alooooone.

Ummmm... Hmmm we have different ideas of "worth". A chick telling me she wants to have my children would make me run! Not want to clean my headlights. Now if that was a polite way of saying "I want to do you" - well that's another story
"I want to have your children" = "I'm going to f*ck you until your next door neighbors beg me to stop because my screams are waking up the dead."
Or something similar.

I think people in this sub-forum check their humor with their coats at the door.
By the way, I'm married, so my choices are limited. Maybe that's why I don't spit shine my headlights.
Wow, how messed up were your headlights?? I would hope you tried the plastx first and didn't go right for the sandpaper. Always start with the LEAST aggressive method first then work your way up as needed.
