What to use on Head Lights?

[MS3_Wild_Thang]

i was cleaning the engine bay of my beautiful sunlight silver M3S with engine cleaner and got some on the head lights and now it looks like crap, so how and what should i use to clean this up and make it look back to new and shinny again? (wrc)

I hear ya, I used some adhesive remover to get the adhesive off one of my headlights after removing the smoked overlays and it ate away at the plastic.

I used Meguiars headlight restoration kit, it helped but didnt clear it all up, but it was pretty bad to begin with.

oh oh, you can get some PLEXUS or NOVUS either one will do the trick.

Rubbing compound/polishing compount then Plastic polish then a good wax/sealant. Should buff out. Be careful next time and tape it off if need be.
