I'm assuming I can polish the plastic on the headlights in my 2006 Toyota Matrix. I plastic is still "clear", but all the road grit over the years have pitted and fogged the surface. Any advice on material for polishing?

I’ve heard amazing reviews about the Sylvania one, but could never find it. I bought a Cera-Kote product instead and posted the results on my profile. Still holds up just like when I first did it, to be honest. So far it’s been 7 months I think? Still crystal clear.

Okay, this is the tiny drop of information that I needed -- a product name which became a search term, which allowed me to find multiple similar products available locally and see that the price was reasonable. So I really appreciate it!

No problem! I would check out Product Farm’s video before you buy anything, as a number of similar products do NOT do a good job at all. I decided on CeraKote because of how hard Sylvania was to find (and it was expensive when I could) but I’ve seen similar products by CeraKote that have had great success, so I took a chance, and it paid off. CeraKote won Project Farm’s video on trim restoration, and I can attest to those results as well.
