Permatex Headlight Restorer

Is this any good? I have some faded turn signals as well as some really faded plastic headlights on my truck. For only 13 bucks I'm thinking on trying this out. Whaddya guys think?

Re: Permatex Headlight Restorer

Well, on my daily driver I had the same problem with the fading and foggy look. At my local Advance Auto Parts I found some Meguiar's "PlastX" cleaner. It worked great and it was only 6-7 dollars with tax. Also, I applied it with a wax applicator pad and then buffed the residue off with a finishing cloth. Unfortunately, I do not have any pics to show you the results but it did work great.

Re: Permatex Headlight Restorer

I've tried that stuff and although it works great...it's only a temporary fix. When i washed my car a couple of times the foggy **** came back. This kit comes with sandpaper and solution...I'm going to try it out next weekend and tell everyone how it goes.
