OT: Liquid metal wax for plastic headlight covers

I recently got a nice 2000 intrepid on the cheap and it's very nice but has very cloudy plastic covers. New assemblies would be over 300 bucks. But on a hunch I snooped around and this stuff is supposed to work great. All you need is the metal wax, nothing else. 29 bucks but 11 S&H sure got my goat. I started looking around but this was still the cheapest. 11 bucks to ship a little bottle. Yeah right. Anyway they showed some pictures on that or some other site. Looks like it works great.

You can get something that works just as well for $5 at Walmart.

I've used this stuff on the headlights of my 1994 Mustang GT and it really made a big difference. I would try this exact stuff though, I tried Meguiars NXT and Blue Magic metal polish before and neither one did a damn thing for the headlights.

chit, I allready ordered the stuff. Doh! Maybe I can cancel it. It's only 32 bucks I guess but if you tried metal wax and it wasn't effective...damn.

Well I've never used that same exact stuff you posted, so it may or may not work, but I've personally used the Mother's stuff and know it worked for me, plus it's only $5 and available at any Walmart or autoparts store.

Thanks...I couldn't believe I didn't get voice mail or the Hymalayas. Cancelled no problemo. Time to order some chinese!

Good deal!

Let me know if you need any help using it, it's pretty straight forward but I'm willing to help if need be. Depending on how bad your headlights are though, it make take 2 applications.

I can't imagine how those diffuse and block the light in that condition. Plus it makes the car look old.

I noticed a difference. It wasn't a night and day difference (no pun intended) but you could tell it was a little brighter.
