Attn: KeplerNiko (plastic cleaning tip for everyone) 200

if you want a great way to clean up your headlights (since they still look rather yellowish, I'd recommend the Meguars Clear plastic cleaner, you can use it on your headlights, tail lights, inst. cluster plastic etc.

I purchased a bottle and used it on my buddies 95 Nissan 240Sx with plastic lenses similar to the ones on the 240's, and there was a remarkable difference from the heavily oxidized, yellowed, and clouded lenses he had. It also made all of his plastic much smoother, AND clearer! (very similar to new lenses, w/o the $$!) The only way you can tell that the lenses are not new, is if you get within 6-12 inches of the lenses and caarefully inspect them.

If you don't wanna spend the $$$ on that stuff, I'd recommend using toothpaste to clean them, and follow it up with some car wax. The lightly abbrasive materials in the solid colored toothpastes (not the gel types), work great for this application, without damaging the factory finish.

Personally, I just took the easy way out, as I always use what's best for my e30 BMW ;)

happy motoring!!!

P.S. if you guys want any other useful auto detailing secrets, just leave me a message on the board, or email me at bmwguy22@roadfly.org
