BARS headlight cleaner

[rollingstock]

Used the Turtle wax with good results, came with the polishing pads, and a sealer included.

Will try the Bars though just because they always made a consistently good product.

[chucky]

Price Club (The Grocery in Center Point Mall) Chaguanas has a very large selection of Meguiar's Products including the PlastX. In Aranguez you can check Sasrena Auto Supplies and in El Socorro you can check Autorama Auto Supplies. All of them received delivery of this product earlier this month.

thank you

I uses Sonax. Works OK. And then put on a Mother's wax to protect. It not really lasting though. I tried the Turtle Wax thing, and it helped get out some deep scratches from the previous owner's dog. But it still didn't have a nice final clarity, so I used a meguiars buffing pad, with a drill, and that did the trick...almost.

If this bars sheit really that good, i willing to give it a try.

[MadCrix]

crazy u can use my car as a test

let me know when to pass by

[black start]

ok so after removing the opaque layer, what does you all use to prevent it from reoccuring so quickly?

[chucky]

Ordered and soon to be in retail outlets throughout Trinidad & Tobago.

Mothers Powerball for headlights or the equivalent Meguiars kit will work.

Followup with Meguiars Headlight Protectant or Wolfgang Plastic Sealant (both you'll have to buy online - check Amazon).

Acts essentially like a UV shield....should keep the headlights looking good for another 3-4 months easy.

As mentioned previously, the Meguiar's Headlight Protectant will be available at leading retail outlets very soon.

alyuh try rallywax nah.....exact same results in 30 seconds per light.
pluss it cheaper.
rallywax has relatively strong cleaners in it as its also good for tree sap, pitch kickup etc.

[SR]

yup
easy on and off and it cheap ish

[S_2NR]

good thread. mothers plastic polish aint really helping
will check this out

[DooMRR]

Old thread. But had to revive it. Just bought the Bars Headlight restorer today and tried it out on my van. Just did a quick thing (didn't spend plenty time) and this was the result. As far as simple goes, this was one of the best I've used, and I would recommend it. Anything better would require sand paper.

Before:

After:

Pictures don't show the difference that much. But in person, it makes a BIG difference. I'm pleased. For $25, it's worth it.

not bad but i get much better results with plast-x
this is just straight up plast-x and my buffer

@DooMRR deforq hoss yuh coulda pack up any closer to that wall?
will try that bars product my headlight looks foggy like hell

[noshownogo]

Need to get me some PlastX this weekend.

[DooMRR]

@DooMRR deforq hoss yuh coulda pack up any closer to that wall?

Lol. Another wide vehicle has to park next to me under the house, so to allow room to get out the van and to walk between the vehicles, I have to park like that all the time. It becomes a norm doing it over the years.

Might try the plastx later on and compare the two. But anyone you buy, you will be satisfied. Lights show much much brighter and show the road clearer with most of the stain gone.

[SmokeyGTi]

results look as good as when i use a $25 bottle of waxco headlight cleaner..

[javishm]

autosol usually does the trick for me
