it looks great that it actually sands the surface first, obviously reduces the thickness of the plastic so it cant be done many times but looks like itll work really well..

And instead of putting a wax on it at the end step go with a two pack clear like what is used on car panels?? should never go yellow again??

not as fancy as the 3M, no drill here, just elbow grease, but comes up a treat...the sealer is the key!

Novus plastic restoration kit works a charm, thats what I used on my milky looking STi lights, and they came out looking brand new.

eBay is where I got it.

yeah I'll be ordering the 3m soon looks the goods, I don't think it sands too much off? the lens is probably pretty thick.

hey mate... a really good way to get them looking crystal again is to remove the head light (and globes) put the whole unit in your oven for about 2min at 180c then you can seperate the front of the light from the backing, then give it a quick plastic buff and it comes out like new...
