I don't know how many of you have ever noticed how dull my taillights were, they were pretty bad. Ever since I bought the car I had always planned on spending a day or two sanding, buffing, polishing to get them perfect. Because on projects like that I'm kind of a perfectionist and hate it if it's not 100%. Well I bought the car almost 5 years ago and I still hadn't done ANYTHING to the lights. My co-worker had this Flitz polishing kit from one of those AS SEEN ON TV stores that he swore by. Told me it'd shine them up quickly. I was really hesitant on using some random product on my lights because of how hard it would be to find decent replacements. The other day I finally got off my ass and tried a bit of the stuff on my old style TA taillights and low and behold it worked pretty damn well! So I spent a grand total of ten minutes per taillight polishing them and think I got pretty good result!

This is the kit he has.

Came with a buffing ball that goes on a drill, the polish and some wax but I didn't use the wax.

You can still see a few imperfections here and there but for a half hours worth of work (including pulling the taillights off and washing them as well as behind them)

looks good....i used some plastic lens polish on mine (Meguires brand) and it helped, but probably need to spend more time on it.

looks great Ian!

Will that polish work on just plastic stuff, or could it be used on other parts?

The package says it works on anything. Actually it says it works on Metal, and then in the smaller print it says okay for plastics.
