Meguiars Plast X

[HassanZ]

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone has used this product and if it works?

 

I have a cloudy layer on my headlights which I was planning to remove. Would this Plast X stuff work?

 

Can this be used by hand or is it better to apply it using the Kestral DAS6 polisher?

 

Or am I better off just using the Megs Ultimate Compound in restoring my headlights?

 

Thanks for your help guys

There's a guide over there... http://my350z.com/forum/repairing-and-d ... ost8048767

Perfect! Thanks for that, really helpful!

 

Are there any recommended sandpaper manufacturers to use for the 2000 and 3000 grit sandpapers? I don't want to end up purchasing a cheap quality sandpaper which will end up ruining my headlights or not lasting long enough!!

 

I am taking delivery of my DAS6 polisher, compound and pads on Tuesday so I can get down to some proper detailing over the next bank holiday weekend!

I use Megs ultimate compound and they come up a treat with the DA

Oh so I'm I wasting my time purchasing 2000 and 3000 grit sandpapers? Shall I just use my DAS6 and Megs Ultimate Compound?

Start with the megs and then decide. I would go all guns blazing on the paper to be honest. You'll be surprised how well the megs and a DA work together. It may save you money or give you realisation to purchase the sandpaper?

[HassanZ]

Good point. I'll try out the Megs Ultimate Compound and DA first, hopefully that will do the job. I may save myself some money by not purchasing the sandpaper and Megs Plast X, rather than purchasing it and realising I didn't need it after all!

 

I like your logic!

[Wasso]

I'd personally run two passes. First application, wipe, then a second go and so how it turns out. If that fails you know to invest in the heavier duty stuff.

2000/3000 grit would be wet and dry paper. You can pick them up for 50p-£1 a sheet from most DIY stores. I did my front lights with my DA and it worked fine.

Thanks for your help guys!

 

I used the Megs Ultimate Compound, came out brilliant!
