I picked mine up at Advanced Auto. I think O'reilly has them too.

I tried this yesterday....didnt take any photos cuz I didnt think it would work to great

I was surprised

Cleaned up most of the yellow-ing right away

I put some on a shop towel and scrubbed for 2-3 min.

Pretty good for a basically free cleaning.

Not as good as the 3M kit if you have really dirty head lights but it does work well

so this is my girls corolla, the fog couldn't be taken off with plastic x this helped a slight bit more as u can see, but remember, this was taken right after the wipe... its an oil so it will look more clean, i did clean them up afterwards and it was still pretty decent, better than the plastic x sold in stores

What about when it's from the inside? Because I tried restoring my headlights awhile ago. The one on the right finished up very nicely, but the one of the left.. it remained foggy no matter what I did.. think it's like dusty on the inside or something.. but is there any other way to get to it besides taking off the whole bumper and all?

plastiX is a nice finisher, but when I restored mine earlier I wet sanded it down a bit with like 1000 grit sandpaper then I used plastiX with a random orbital.

I use the same metal polish i use for my exhaust. Wipe it on, flip towel over, wipe it off. Too easy. Far better than the Plastix crap. Next time I do it I will take pics.
