HassanZ Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 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 Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 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!

Wasso Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I use Megs ultimate compound and they come up a treat with the DA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Oh so I'm I wasting my time purchasing 2000 and 3000 grit sandpapers? Shall I just use my DAS6 and Megs Ultimate Compound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 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 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 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 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter10 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks for your help guys! I used the Megs Ultimate Compound, came out brilliant!
