How To Use Meguiars PlastX On Headlights

Learn how to clean your car headlights and protect them very easily. You can do this quickly. Without filming the whole process will probably take about 30 minutes. Sit back and enjoy this satisfying transformation.
You can use a drill with a drill attachment with the foam pads but I found that a Griots Garage 3" Polisher works best and costs as much as a new drill. I used Meguiars PlastX for my polish and I put it on Griots Garage black foam pad. I worked in the product on speed 1. I worked the product around on speed 3 for a few passes and then worked it in even more on speed 5 for a few more passes. I wiped off the residue on the headlight with a microfiber towel. The results were amazing but the job was not complete yet. I used a liquid 3 in 1 wax with an orange pad on the polisher to further refine the light and add a layer of wax protection. After letting it set for 20 minutes I buffed off the dried wax with a clean microfiber towel. The results were astounding.

Thank you so much for making this video! I've used Meguiars PlastX on a light lens today where the transparent plastic was yellow instead of clear and it works exactly like you show in this video and it's very easy to work with too. I've polished by hand and the result is very good in my opinion after polishing the light lens multiple times. I'm definitely going to buy this product again!

[@truthof7382]

McGuires Also makes a headlight lens protector that you can use after the polishing

[@communistpootisbirb]

Just an FYI to anyone doing this, COVER YOUR CAR PAINT if you are going to use higher speeds. Got this all over my mom’s car hood and it left a ton of micro scratches trying to wash it off!

[@danielfowler9173]

Beautiful! Nothing like clear headlights

[@sunset986S]

I tried the PlastX on my 986 headlights by hand with good results but will definitely get one of those 3" orbital buffers for even better results...thanks!

[@keithroberts5611]

Its a good tutorial video to restore the clarity and shine!! I've used this product in conjunction with a full 3M restoration kit on my badly degraded headlights, The only difference being after buffing with the PlastX i used Maguires clearcoat with added UV protection the best in my opinion, Also after care is most important for Derabilaty, Every time the car been washed i use Turtle wax headlight polish which as UV protection added, A clean micro fibre cloth a drop of polish rubbed on each lens and left for 5min's and buff by hand works wonders, My headlights still looks clear after 2years!!🤔😳🇬🇧👍

This was satisfying to watch 😅

[@AutOdometer]

It’s always fun taking something dirty and making it like new again

[@mondo9.2.5]

gonna do the plastx first then add a ceramic coating after

[@AutOdometer]

I did the same. Unfortunately I didn’t really pay attention to how long it lasted. I used Armor X ceramic coating.

[@fordmansvt]

Your headlights dont look like they have any oxidation to start with. If you had messed up headlights it would make for a much better video. Good luck with your channel!

Give us another video by using the Plastx with an orange correction pad and also the black polishing pad and let’s see the difference. Try to find a very oxidized headlight and let’s see the difference.

[@AutOdometer]

I will see what I can do

[@FakeItalianoII]

One of the main villains in yellowing plastic headlights is UV light, so to minimize the effect of UV from the sun UV resistant clear coat is preferred, rather than wax ... Just sayin' ... :)

[@AutOdometer]

UV resistant. Got it!

[@sonofagalwayman6553]

[@philskibinski1326]

Great video and thanks for the info, where do you buy the 3-1 wax at if I may ask?

[@eddieg9060]

It works great for the fog. But the yellow not really. It depends on how bad your lights are though mine were pretty bad and if u have those little cracks in the light that’s permanent.

[@MasterKoala777]

Thanks. How long did the effect last before wearing off?

[@eddieg9060]

@@MasterKoala777 it lasted a while idk id say every year it gets slightly crapier as time goes on. Depends on how much sunlight its geting and also how well ur taking care of the light. After you seal them buy plexus spray and spray them down wipe em off every few months to keep them fresh.

[@MasterKoala777]

@@eddieg9060 thanks! Yeah mine has those little cracks, and yellow too. But any improvement will be good.

You just should’ve swapped the jobs for the pads.. the black one should’ve been for the 3 in 1 wax, while even tho the plastix was a “polish” for EXTRA CUTTING POWER….. I think you should’ve used the orange pad

[@darkstardvs1]

Nice results i would have used the orange pad to cut with the compound and used the black to apply wax but it came out great

[@AutOdometer]

Good tips thank you

[@jamieleemoralesvega9667]

Does this remove scratches from the headlights as well?

great video. What kind of foam or sponge u r using with the plasticX?? from where can i get it??

[@eljeffe8806]

Without mentioning any other brand names (C*******), what is your opinion of using only their final coating step to protect the surface after polishing with PlastX and cleaning the surface and not waxing as you did?

It works. A big part is what you put on overtop of it to protect it. Nothing lasts forever not even a $2000 ceramic coating

the wax wont last a year...it wont even last the summer...you need to seal it with Ceramic Coating... like that it will last a good 6 months..

Headlight clear wrap or tint wrap will last years

Next time use a more aggressive pad. It will help with the cutting. Also, that wax will absolutely not last 1 yr

I hope you’re not backing that phony antenna add, linked in your video that claims to allow you to receive satellite tv. It’s not possible to receive satellite signals on regular TV antenna. I know these are considered what they call shotgun adds which you have no control over, but you should be allowed to pick reputable advertisers.

[@johnbrennan7175]

What a complete waste of time. Car paint scratch remover or metal polish works just aswell and so much cleaner and fast.
