User Reviews
“Meguiar’s PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish is an absolute lifesaver! My car’s instrument panel was so fogged over that I could hardly see anything, and it was incredibly frustrating. After a recommendation from a car detailing subreddit (even though many doubted it would work on my severely fogged panel), I decided to give it a try. Surprise, surpriseโit worked far better than anyone expected!”
“This thing is incredible as you can see in my pictures. I had a hard time seeing at night because the headlights were super hazy. One application with this stuff and they are almost back to brand new! Idk how long it will last but Even if I have to do it once a month I’m willing to do so. I didn’t even have to really use a lot of force to clean it. I used a microfiber towel rubbed it on like I was cleaning a window with Windex and BOOM instant results. Would highly recommend this stuff!!”
How to Use
- Clean the surface thoroughly and dry it.
- Apply a small amount of PlastX to a microfiber cloth or foam applicator pad.
- Work the product into the plastic surface using circular motions.
- Continue buffing until the haziness and oxidation are removed.
- Wipe off any excess product with a clean microfiber cloth.
- For best results, apply multiple coats or use with a polishing machine for heavily oxidized surfaces.
