Well lets just say I have always struggled with cleaning and restoring headlights. I have been told by numerous folks that I could use a semi-aggressive polish and it would do the trick. Well I had no luck with it and continued my search for the right product. Well I got some of the Wolfgang Plastik Lens Cleaner and decided to give it a whirl. I had an Explorer that was being prepped by me for a surprise birthday present for a 16 year old girl. Well the lights were in rough shape and I figured it was the perfect test vehicle.
I applied it with a 4" LC CCS yellow pad on a 3" bp with my Metabo. I worked the cleaner in until it almost disappeared. I then took my new Cobra Ultra Plush Gold MF and buffed off the residue and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a clear lens!!!! Man I was so happy that I finally found a product that worked on the lenses for me. This stuff was so easy to use and like I said just applied it at about 1100 rpms and after a few passes it had done the work. Just look at the before and afters. I also included a shot of one finished headlight and one untouched so you can see the difference.

This is a great plastic cleaner and I am looking forward to trying it on some other plastic pieces as well. As a headlight restorer it is absolutely top notch. I'll report back on my findings with other forms of plastic. Oh and the new Cobra Gold MF it is awesome. I really love it with QDs as its nice and big and thick. You couldn't go wrong with either of these products.
