Restore all your lights and anything else plastic on your car for $10 !!!

So check out what I used to restore a TON of stuff on mt car. But before I tell you what I used (prepared to be amazed) here are some pics.

Start with the black tail light piece thatsits on either side of the licence plate, right side is polished . Left side is what I started with . Took 20 seconds with no sanding or clear coating.

Next , although its kind of hard to tell, is the front turn signal. Left side polished , right is not. I plan on polishing these multipal times , even though the first time made them look new.

Tail lights also got it. Driver side is sun beaten and un touched. Pass side is polished .

Here is my top piece to my tpi intake. I polished that little circle . All around it is untouched .

Now most of the stuff I did so far was done with a shop rag of micro fiber towel . I still want to do several passes over each item just for the hell of it. I am just amazed how this stuff works and what you can use it on. SO, ready to find out what I used ,

Shazam ! This mothers mag polish is amazing . It brought a shine back to everything. I plan on doing my TPI stuff, as well as a ton of other plastic and metal parts . This stuff is worth every penny.
