Cool 1997 headlights

Headlight plastics have darkened and yellowed, have wet sanded them prior with good short term effect, anyone have any better suggestions or used any products offered to get rid of oxidation? thanks

x2. I think PlastX is more of a maintence use sort of product, for minor yellowing and to prevent it from getting worse. It does help some, but new headlights would probably be your best bet

Heavy duty restoration kit from ADS - review here with pics:

As a note - I did this back in April and they still look good. My stepdaughter hits them quickly with PlastX after every wash job now.

Get Lightning headlamps! Or try a headlamp plastics restorer such as Plast-X or Flitz.

I Highly suggest that kit as well. It works GREAT!
