if you mean meguire's plastic polish that was probably me.....for future reference, and for everybody else, if you use the stuff in conjuntion with a high speed electric buffer it works even better

What I did to clear up my yellow headlights was a bit different and slightly an un-orthodoxed approach.  I took 1500grit wet/dry sandpaper and wet-sanded the outsides of my lenses.  I then took 3M polishing glaze and polished them up pretty nicely.  I wanted to shoot some clear-coat over them, but I couldn't get my headlights out, so I held off on that.  The sanding and polishing did an awesome job, though.  My headlights were yellow-enough that plastic polish didn't work on them.

Can anyone post a picture of their results?  I'd love to see how it looks.  Thanks

yep....I actually used Mother's Aluminum/Metal polish...and it worked pretty damn good....I do wonder why the turn lights next to the headlight housings never change colors at all....
must be a different Japanese manufacturer.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
