Just a regular metal polish? it is cool if it will work on the plastic headlight lenses. I will probably try it today. Thanks man. I hope it works.

Re: Aftermarket headlights?

msgrntalon;
You can buy plastic polish at most auto parts stores, but fact is it is very close in grit to fine polishing compound, and costs quite a bit more.

My headlights were pretty dinged up when I finally got around to polishing them up. I actually used fine grade steel wool first, then medium grade polishing compound, then fine polishing compound (also called rubbing compound).

They look much better, but the heavy dings are still there. It sure beats getting new ones though, standard replacment headlight housings run about $200 each.
