Meguiars 1-step plastic restore kit

Wish I would've bought a buff ball on a stud but it was a heat of the moment purchase. I already own Plastix and know it works great with just manual hand rubbing. with a power drill 19.2v it brought my headlights on my civic back to crystal clarity.

I didn't even think to take before shots sorry.




but I will take before/after shots of the in-laws when I do her car next week.


if you don't have the resources or know where to get a buff ball on a stud, a power drill and a bottle of Meguiar's Plastix, then spend $20 on this kit you won't be disappointed.

car wax, depends on which mood I'm in, lol.

I don't use the conventional waxes, like meguiar's yellow or turtle wax ice or liquid.

if I'm lazy I'll use Eagle-1 wax-as-you dry.

If I'm feeling somewhat energetic I'll use meguiar's liquid detailer/polish

and If I'm up for a challenge I'll use Turtle Wax cleaner/polish paste the $1.00 tub. but that's an adventure.
I get the "you can't use that for a wax all the time and I ask them then why does my 10 year old civic still bead faster than your (insert newer car here)?"

The yaris gets the toyota sealant and wax-as-you dry or turtle wax Ice (when funds are available)
