I can vouch for another Mag's product that has proven itself to me, my mechanic and my body man several times over - I even know of one enterprising soul who goes around picking up xtra $$ "clearing" clouded plastic headlights
I use a 3 step process that can give a factory “new” appearances to plastic lens covers - get a bottle each of Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze #17 Clear Plastic Cleaner and a bottle of Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze #10 Clear Plastic Polish - approx $9 to $12 per 8oz bottle
1. Wetsand (w/copious amounts of water) to a 1500 grit (The cloudiest lenses I ever refinished necessitated wetsanding down through 800, 1200, then 1500 Silicon Carbide paper)
2. Two applications and buffings to clear off with the Mag’s #17 Cleaner using a buffer (I use a buffing wheel on lo setting w/a Dremel)
3. Two applications and buffings to clear off with the Mag’s #10 Polish using a buffing wheel - Clean up and enjoy !
This project is a damn site easier if you can remove the entire lens assembly to work on it -
