Re: Plastic cleaner

For tougher lenses, I've always used Meguire's mag n aluminum polish. I've been using it for years and it REALLY works well.

Re: Plastic cleaner

I use the mag polish and then do a finish coat with the plastic polish, the key with the mag polish is to apply it hard enough that it creats heat, or use a polisher. The heat and abrasive mag polish will remove that haze.
