Polishing headlights
I've never tried to polish the headlights on my ZT, but there's some scratches on them that aren't exactly an enhancement.
Would it be ok using Scratch X/SRP or whatever? I'm unsure as to whether an abrasive polish would make them a hazy nightmare.

apprently some are treated and you have to be careful not to take the coating off them.
Platic ones I use Plast-x on an orange 3" sonus pad (using the PC) - by hand I would use plast-x on a microfibre cloth - you only need a pea sized amount by hand. Glass ones I use Menzerna intensive polish (Menz IP) on an orange 5" sonus pad (on the PC) |

******, my signature seems to have disappeared. That'd show it's a mk1. Would that mean they're glass or plastic?
Cheers for the answers so far btw

Due to the Down Time on Forums the other Night some People have lost their Sig Pic. Just redo and all should be fine again.
