Best Tail Light restore?

[WhiteStallionGT]

As the title says. Know of any good kits out there?

Mine are faded and oxidized.

Will this work for tail lights?

Awesome. I'll have to check that out.

What do you guys think about sanding them (gradually increasing the grit) and then using plastic polish?

wax on, wax off








All you have to do is just rub it on then wipe it off... plus your tail lights will smell minty fresh :rockon:

The Turtle Wax kit worked fine for me.

When I first bought my L the taillights had a slight yellow tint/haze to them.

Here it is after the Turtle Wax kit. After you are done with the Turtle Wax kit put some RainX or some good wax on your taillights.

The very next weekend I detailed my L, and hit the lights along with the rest of the truck so they got treated to some Meguiar's M105/205, 3M Ultrafina, Meguiar's NXT 2.0, and Collinite #845. They're now looking pretty dam clear and shiney.

The Mothers PowerBall 4Lights is a great new kit and should work well on your taillights -- try just the polisher and the polish -- not the sanding blocks. You can get it at O'Reilly's/Kragen/Checker/Schucks
