A couple of weeks back, I was talking to a fellow camper and the subject came around about dulling headlights and as I have a 06 Mountain Aire with them, I asked if he had heard of anything better or cheaper than the motorized kits out to brighten them up. He told me about Meguirer's Plastx and actually cleaned a small section of my lights in about 2 minutes.
This stuff really works and isn't hard to apply .....................

Thanks for the tip Magic will add to Quick Tips #3.

I am going to try it looks great when done.

I found it at Walmart for only $5.97 ......................

With everything that's out there you wonder what is a scam or what isn't. Nice to see something that someone has tried which actually works. Thanks.

I use it too. Only problem is the lights will slowly fog again after a few weeks.

I bought a can of surplus air force plastic cleaner for $1.00, it works well too. I also spray mine with 303.

I use Barkeepers Friend to clean then Pledge to polish.

Used it first thing I bought the coach last year........

Yes, I agree. I put some sealer wax on them and it helped keep them clean for about 2 or 3 months, then it has to be re-done.....

I used it on my vinyl striping and man it took all the nasty grodies off them too...but, didn't last too long. I am prepping now for Poli Glow, and using Bar Keepers Friend, works fantastic on the fiberglass and the vinyl, removes acid rain and oxidation very well. But love the Plastic X !

AW SHUCKS!!!....I was excited about the info on "PLASTX", .....but it looks like it's not a fix for fogging headlight lenses, just another short lasting cover-up.....DANG.

Why to the engineers who design these things, come up with junk that won't withstand the elements??? I mean, after all, we've all likely seen headlight lenses from as far back as the early 1940's that are as clear as when installed...well, maybe a little greenish, but, still,....CLEAR!!

Yes, but it takes very little effort, just rub it on and rub it off. Keep it handy and use it whenever you wash your coach....
