            Mother's plastic polish is what he uses... And on headlights I think he uses the metal polish and then the plastic polish for a finish... Just ask him on his DIY.....

                Big difference. Was that on the USDM OEM glass headlamps? Machine/orbital or by hand? I use clay on all my lights to remove dirt (post-washing) to keep the surface clean. But this looks like a good follow-up.

                    i just use mother's aluminum wheel polish and buff to a shine (just like TypeG uses). this only works on plastic lenses though. sanding might be a better idea on glass surfaces.
