Has anyone used this product? its pretty cheap. If not, do any of you seasoned car guys have a homemade alternative or substitute?.....Cuz my Solara's headlights look like british teeth (no offense lol)

They are claiming "All headlights" but not all headlights are made from the same material. Some are plexi, some are lexan, some are "other". I use Mothers California Gold Plastic Polish on my headlights and they freakin' glow (my car is gen 1.5). If your lights are really scratched up you can sand them with 2400, 3600, 6000, 8000 and 12000-grit papers, and then polish if off with jewlers rouge (sounds nuts I know, sand to remove scratches, but it is what the pros do). Here is a link to just such a repair on a corvette convertible plastic rear window: http://www.diytv.com/diy/ab_windows/art ... 76,00.html

Hope that helps.

Crap

.......lol....I just bought the mothers off of ebay, cuz i couldnt find it at the stores. I would have liked to try the Meguiars product, they always amaze me in their other departments. :crazyeyes:

Has anyone tried both?.......which one you think worked better?

Would this work on yellowed headlights? My mother in law has a 1995 Avalon, one headlight was replaced maybe 2 years back but the other was is original and YELLOW. So yellow that in fact it affects the lighting from the Silverstars. Jon.
