Thanks LSNAutoDetailing, and from the looks of the pictures, nicely done! So, I asked the question because it seems that products like M105/M205 could work well and be a very cost effective solution.

On the other hand, we also see many product manufacturers offering specific "Headlight Restoration" products as well. Do those products offer some truly unique properties to their chemistry? Or, are they simply taking an existing "off-the-shelf" polish, relabeling it and marketing it as a "Headlight Restoration" product?

-Most often it all boils down to:

Second the above, 105/205 work well on headlights.

[Sonic Pilot]

Cool. Thanks for all the replies and advice!

I use 105 as well although I usually use something else to finish it off.

M105 is about all I use on headlights now as I buy it in bulk. Love the stuff.

I've wondered the same thing. Wouldn't a quality polish work well on a number of surfaces? I'm really curious as to what would be differenence in formulation for a polish designed for hard plastics vs. paint.

I use a plastic polish myself but I have it around for buffing out my planes windscreen (it's plexiglass). I figure it's cheap enough to buy then plastic polish myself. Beautiful restoration results though, I'll give the 105 a try
