Cool idea! Now, will this work for both plastic and glass headlights?

Glass is so different than plastic. The answer is "no".

Plastic headlights tend to be soft enough for the average person to sand and then buff by hand or machine so using this new kit on plastic is a given as the plastic is soft enough for the average person to work on.

If you do a search on Glass Polishing or Glass Scratches you'll find every time this question comes up it is explained that glass DOESN'T lend itself well to be abraded with the end result looking good.


Here's a classic thread that explains in detail the idea touched upon above... note how it's so popular or hot that it's a "Sticky" in our Hot Topics forum.

I have been using Meguire's products for some time now and appreciate the quality and results.

Since this is your first post, welcome to Meguiar's Online!

Don't seem to be able to find a lot of these type of "tools" here in Canada. Are there any particular suppliers here that carry a wide range of product?

Some countries, probably most countries, make it more expensive, more complicated and more difficult to import products inside of their borders, that's something outside of Meguiar's control and the problems lies with the government of these countries not to mention the financial toll some countries impose on the above process with taxes, duties, tariffs, etc. Guess that's part of how each country decides to run their economy and both of these topics are outside of the scope of this forum and should be taken up in other venues and will taken up in other venues, not this forum.

Maybe some of our Canadian members will chime in with some locations to check out.

This is awesome. I have PlasticX, but that polishing pad looks useful. Faster results than by using by hand.

Nice kit !

Re: New Product - Headlight & Clear Plastic Restoration Kit

Just from past experience trying to use a cordless drill to do something similar - DON'T! Use a Corded drill. Main reason is that cordless drills tend to lose power rather quickly and you tend to have to change out the battery pack after doing the area of just one headlight (Grrr!!!)

Sound like your using the wrong cordless. I have a Li-Ion Powered Mikita hammer drill that lasts for days and does not self-discharge from non-use.

I'll agree that the older style Nicad Drills are a lesson in frustration!

Saw it today at Kragen...couldn't justify buying it as I just bought Plast-X and have a DA and access to a rotary.

Neat product though for those without another machine.
