I just won a set of export taillights last night on Ebay, what is a good plastic polish or cleaner to use on them. From the pictures on Ebay there are some small scuffs on the lenses. Thanks for any help ya'll...

 

meguiars plastX. did wonders for my headlights.

 

3M also makes a very good plastic polish.. i wet sanded mine down 1st with 1500 then 2000 grit.. then took the orbital with 3M polish to it...

 

Inspect those lights VERY CLOSELY for cracks and dry spots on the edge of the lens. If there are any, you need to be careful with them and keep them out of intense heat or dry conditions, else the lens will start cracking.

Hence the fact they can be up to 14 years old in some cases.

 

Could I go wet sand 1500, 2000, and then hand apply the 3M plastic polish?

 

yeah you can.. the orbital just made it easier for me since you need to apply "some" pressure to use it.. and some pressure to take it off

 

I'll be sure to check, thanks for the heads up...

 

Hahah I was betting on those too but I decided to use the money for some performance parts

 

May I ask how much you paid?

 

I think the auction ended at $190.478 and then you have shipping on top of that

 

Did you bid last night around 10pm?

 

No, I was bidding when they first got on. My last bid was $70

 

That's cool, someone got on last night and took the bid from $112 to $190. I was pissed! Oh well, still got off cheap compared to what they used to go for. There is another set on there now, the bid is at $99 with 4 days left.

 

W/ shipping I think it came to $253.

 

I'll admit they do look better than stockers but $253....damn
