PlastX
I ordered a bottle directly from Meguiars and am impressed with this product. Impressed, so much so that I took it to work and let my co-worker borrow the stuff so he could clean his hazy headlights on his '95 Continental. In about a half hour on his lunch break, he was able to get one headlight clear again. I also have noticed that it will remove light scratches from the plastic, just like it said it would do on the label.

Hi Foxfour,
Welcome to Meguiar's Online!
PlastX is a super product, it's good to hear you obtained good results. Sometimes at the Saturday, "Detail Day at Meguiar's clinics, I'll pull out a peice of plexiglass, sand it down with some #2000 grit Nikken Finishing Papers and then show how using nothing but Plastx, a piece of terry cloth and some old-fashioned elbow grease, you can completely remove the sanding marks.
It used to be that this procedure would have to be performed by machine using a rotary buffer and a product like Meguiar's M-01 Medium-Cut Cleaner.
PlastX = Good product

I would agree. PlastaX really works almost hard to believe plastic can be restored. I even shines up new plastic very well, I use it all the time on my head and tail lights. Best of all its easy to use, much easier than Meguiars "Plastic System".Brandon

isn't #17 just a cleaner? than you have to flow with a conditioner?
plastix is both in one. thats alittle off, but you get the direction I was going. I haven't had to do anything to bad yet but so far I haven't found anything it has been able to handle.2000

I guess I need to buy a bottle of PlastX and give it a try, but I like the 10/17 combo too...One time, I cleaned up the laser lens of a CD player with it! Needless to say, it worked fine after that.r. b.Comment

I like both Plastx and the system... here is my 2 cents:
I think the Plastx is good for maitianing and doing some light/medium cleaning/polishing, what most people would be doing. Then step up to the more serious problems with the Plastic Collection it harder to use and takes more time but it too works very.Brandon

I'm going to use the PlastX on the clear plastic that covers the instrument gauges next. These things swirl like crazy!1996 Mustang Cobra. Laser Red Clearcoat MetallicComment

Just a comment…
PlastX contains a microscopic diminishing abrasive that the other three plastic products don't contain. It is this microscopic diminishing abrasive that enables you to remove scratches out of both flexible and rigid plastics.
It also leaves behind a protective polymer coating. I tend to use #10 after PlastX to insure 100% optical clarity.
