I have this old set of gauges that came from a junk yard. clear plastic was all f***ed up on them and i decided to hit it up with some mcguires clear plastic cleaner and plastic polish from o'rileys for $7 each. Well, it turned out to be a COMPLETE sucess. It looks better then my stock ones that were scratched a couple of times by gently wiping dust off.

I heard this stuff also works on headlamps. My question is, would I be able to use the plastic cleaner/polishing system on my shift and radio surrounds?

 

No idea... ive used leather cleaner on plastic before and it worked so I dunno. Probably, try in an inconspicious area.

 

sure why not, it is made to be applied and buffed out. Buffing your radio surround and shift boot could be kind of hard, but if you just wipe it clean I'm sure it will act just like armorall. But why not just use armorall...

and of COURSE they can be used on headlights, that what they're made for. I am trying to find a thread I made with a specific McGuire's product that had before and after picture. A $10 WalMart buffer and a $5 bottle of McGuire's and my headlights went from yellowish scratchy to crystal clear (but still not quite brand new).

Amazing difference, try it out. And re-apply as neccessary.

search for my thread, I am tired of this site's search function. sad.gif

 

you don't want to use armorall becasue it wears off. plastic polish is actually just what it says, plastic polish. the plastic cleaner removes scratches and the plastic polish fills in remaining scratches. it was an amazing difference. I just want to know if anyone's tried this clear plastic polish or similar on black yet.

DTN, to answer your question I tried some of my McGuire's on the crash pad (light black area) and it really brings out a nice shiny black from underneath. We'll see if it holds up to the AZ sun tho....
