No, it looks like an excellent transformation. Just checking that the top pic it was clean as it looks almost too good to be true.

it can be done with toothpaste any one with baking soda in it but then you need to then wax the headlight to seal it so if you ant got any car wax then easier to just spend £7 in halfords for one of these also a lot less messy then the toothpaste ...
I am no good at link to vids but their is a couple of decent vids of both ways on you tube you would be amazed

Same as polishing acrylic watches then I guess. I have read that green paste can leave a green film though.it can be done with toothpaste any one with baking soda in it but then you need to then wax the headlight to seal it so if you ant got any car wax then easier to just spend £7 in halfords for one of these also a lot less messy then the toothpaste ...

yeah the vids I saw the toothpaste used was colgate and was white and the turtle wax was white to so might be the case special if they did not wax seal it
yes exactly like a watch crystal I would say did look a bit like polywatch when I squirted it on a cloth probably same sort of mixture maybe

About the best plastic polish I've ever used is Novus.
I used it my boats for many years. You should be able to find it in Wal Mart or any marine store. The kit is 3 - 2oz bottles. Should be about $13.
There are larger containers if you need it. Pints and gallons, I think.
For maintenance, I used Plexus.
An aircraft protectant. Aerosol, about $14 a can. Excellent stuff.

I just had a Jeep Cherokee has a rental. What an absolute POS. Uncomfortable seats, terrible steering wheel and ergonomics, slow to respond. Plus everything else I hate about modern cars, crap visibility, needing a degree in computer science to figure anything out.
