I bought some, but it barely did shit. I think most of the haze is on the inside. I'll just have to take apart the headlight assembly and try doing the inside.

No, you need a buffer and some 2000 grit sandpaper. If you're doing PlastX by hand, you're honestly going to need to spend an hour or two per headlight rubbing that shit in.

Also, x2 on the paste wax, although a lot of liquid waxes have improved quite a bit. Also, the paste wax is much, much easier to apply. I would still recommend you use paint sealant though - It'll last longer and it looks better on metallic silvers, IMO.

I think it depends on how it dries. If they bake it it gets rid of the solvents. If they air dry or heat it at low temps it takes time to dissolve them. The bodyshop guy knows what he did so its a safe bet to go on his advice.

Turtle wax ice sucks. Meguiars all the way FTW.

where exactly is the quality wax?
I dont see a liquid sufficing for a good wax. You need a paste mang.

Last year I waxed the satty 6-7 times (two or three of those waxings were double-coats) with the Gold Class liquid wax and it is astounding...beads like crazy and with a good amount of wax on it, it's so easy to clean...everything, including nasty bugs melt off like butter...I would also vote to use Gold Class //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

get the pro line of Meguiars mirror glaze products. you can get it at some auto stores but the full line can be found online. it cost quite a bit but the shine you get is simply amazing. 2 or three coats of that stuff looks like a **** candy paint job. nothing beats it.

Thanks for all the tips guys.

My favorite wax to this day is the Turtle Wax Platinum, but I don't think they make it anymore. It was easy to apply, and gave the car a shine like none other.

I was really impressed with the Meguiars, it came off super easy and the glossy finish is excellent. Lets see how long it lasts though.
