I wash & waxed my 87 T/A two days ago, and while doing so I got just a very light coat Meguires Classic Gold Car Wax on the edges of my tails and when I wiped it off....damm they looked good! So i just used the cloth I used to wipe it off, to buff the rest of the lights. Gave them a nice clean look, and yeah, it's car wax....in very small amounts, but hopefully nothing will happen to the plastic.My $.02!
