Customer Raves for PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner


"A gentleman at the car wash told me about this stuff and I bought it to try. Though I am skeptical about most things actually working, this did. My headlight covers were almost all white. Your product not only cleaned them to look like new, but also was so easy. I know people are quick to complain about things, so I wanted to let you know how happy I am with your product."

"You may already know this, but I have discovered a surprising non-automotive use for your PlastX. I received a DVD from NetFlix which was visibly damaged, and as expected it refused to be played. No improvement was made when I washed it. In semi- desperation I put a blob of PlastX on a soft cloth, applied it sparingly to the business side of the disc, and buffed it to a shine. The DVD then played perfectly. I'm even more impressed with the product than I had been already. Good job!"

"I recently moved from Florida where our 2002 Ford Taurus sat in the harsh Florida sunlight during the work week for 6 years. We have since moved to New England and I figured it was time to invest in new head light lenses. I figured I'd try the PlastX product first. I'm so glad I did because the product is perfect. I could not believe it as it removed all of the yellow sun damage away from the front headlights. I am in disbelief. This is a very good product!"

"My new motorcycle Memphis shades windshield was scratched when I tried cleaning it with the cleaning brush and squeegee at a gas station. I rode through a huge mess of flying critters and could not see through it. I was on a long 450 mile day ride and needed to clean the windshield. I had tried to be very careful but I still left some deep scratches and a lot of smaller ones. I had just replaced the windshield plastic a few months before and was to say the least upset. I figured I would have to bite the bullet and buy another one. A friend recommended using a plastic polish for auto headlight lenses. I saw your PlastX at the local AutoZone and thought I would give it a try. I used a 4" buffing polishing wheel at slow speed for about twenty minutes and was able to remove all the scratches; even the two deep ones. I was very impressed with your product and have left messages to the fact on a couple of forums. I have used your products throughout the years on many of my cars with great success. I am car and bike crazy!!! Thank you again for your money and time saving quality products."

"I recently purchased PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish, and I can't find words to describe how happy I am with the results. PlastX cleaned up my convertible top rear window to brilliant clarity. I am truly amazed. I've used your products on my 1967 Corvette for many years. Until recently I had not heard of PlastX. I had all but given up on ever restoring the window's clarity. Again, thank you for PlastX!."

"I had to call and tell you how great your PlastX product is. I have a 1996 Saturn that I bought new back then and last year had to have some body work done after a minor collision. They replaced one of the headlights and since then it's been bothering me that the new headlight looked so good while the original was just terrible in comparison. It made the car look lopsided. Now, my husband is a tough guy to please so when I came home with this little bottle of PlastX he was really skeptical. Honestly, so was I, but I figured I had nothing to lose. Well let me tell you, it is so nice to see a product actually live up to its claims. Not only did this do a truly amazing job, but it was easy to use too. Sure, I had to apply it a few times, but after that first application I just knew I was on to something. I'm going to tell all my friends about this. And that hard to please husband of mine? He's outside right now using it on his car!"

"Team Meguiars, I wanted to let you know that your PlastX product is FANTASTIC! I have been using it for awhile now. It works great on ALL plastics, lexan, plexi, acrylic, without leaving a filmy wax look. Being a General Manager in a auto parts retail store, my customers look to me and my team to help them find the right product for their project. Every time a customer is looking for a clear plastic polish, I give them your product. Weather it's windows, headlights, marine, or motorcycles. Sure, I could sell them something for $20.00 bucks, but PlastX always keeps them happy. Most of them cannot believe how good it really is. I've had customers come back just to tell me how impressed they are with your product and thanking me for introducing them to it. I wanted to thank you all for helping us serve our customers better than anyone else. Keep up the great R&D! Thanks Again."

"I work for a local government here in Maryland. I just wanted to let you know that I use your PlastX cleaner to clean overhead light bars on police cars and all sorts of emergency lighting on vehicles from Crown Vics to dump trucks. I have to admit I was skeptical of how well this product would work on these types of light bars because they were in real bad shape. They were frosted over as well as having scratches, bug splatters and regular abuse. When I started to clean them I could not believe how good this product worked. It made a huge difference. Thanks for a great product."

"Your product is fantastic and so easy to use. Our daughter's 2000 Subaru Outback's headlights were completely clouded. After five minutes of moderate polishing, not even rubbing hard, they look like new. Thanks. I heard about your product through a Google search of "cloudy headlight covers.""

R.S. -- Salida, CO


"I just tried PlastX on my 2000 Subaru Outback and my wife's 1996 Infiniti I30. Both had very cloudy headlight lenses and taillight lenses. I was watching eBay to try to pick off a pair of new headlight assemblies for each car. It would have run about $250 per pair for the Subaru and about $300 for the Infiniti. Well, it ended up costing about $8.00 for the PlastX and now the lenses look almost new. It only took about 30 minutes to do both cars. I am very impressed with your product and would highly recommend it to anyone I know."

R.V. -- Nashua, NH


"The 1st of this month I purchased an extremely clean and well maintained Nissan Maxima. The only downside was the oxidized headlights. The salesman told me to go to an auto parts store and have one of the people look at the headlights. I did and he sold me your PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner. IT WORKED GREAT. The headlights look like new. It's nice to purchase a product that performs as advertised. THANKS!"

W.M. -- Southaven, MS


"OK, I’m skeptical about anything that says it clears up plastic, BUT, I've never been let down by anything that says Meguiar's on the label, so I had my hubby pick up a bottle for the horrible headlight lenses on my 98 Taurus. WOW! As I said, I've used other products & been disappointed, but your stuff is so great I even tried it on my "cheap sunglasses". You guys are great! Keep up the awesome work. P.S. My 72 Mustang droptop loves you too! "

"I wanted to send my thanks to your company for the fine performance of PlastX. My 1997 Camry's headlights were very cloudy and providing less and less light with the passage of time. Going to the internet and looking for something to help was not a lot of help, as most sites advertised kits with buffers and product for $50.00 or more. I had just about given up when I happened upon a web site featuring yours and other company’s products. Within just a few minutes after buying PlastX at AutoZone, the headlights looked almost like new! The visibility is much improved at night and I now feel my wife is much safer in her car! All for 7 bucks and change! Thank you so very much."

K.D. -- Riverton, UT


"The windshield on my 1996 BMW motorcycle had begun to delaminate. It was almost impossible to see thru. I read a lot of articles about this problem and they all said the same thing. “Don't bother trying to clean it up just replace it”. Well let me try the PlastX my son bought, took a little elbow grease but it's clear as glass again. Guess you'll have to put a little extra on the shelves when the Beemer people find out!"

T.S. -- Chicopee, MA


"I recently gave a 93 Mazda Mystere to my son in Hamilton Ontario. Before doing so I used the PlastX cleaner on the headlamps. It is truly amazing!! After little effort they were just like new. I work for Canadian tire in Canada and do not hesitate to sell your product to all our customers. Thanks."

W.P. -- Summerland, BC


"I am very pleased with your PlastX. It cleaned up all the clear plastic surfaces on a car that I am restoring. I have tried other plastic cleaners and they do nothing but yours does exactly what it says it will. Thank you."

D.C. -- Hillsville, VA


"How can $6 dollars turn into $250-$300? Easy. PlastX let me restore most of the luster to my 14 year old, New England sand blasted headlight lenses. The pictures on the website do not exaggerate. I have tried other mineral based polishes to no avail. PlastX was the first to do what it claims!"

T.M. -- ,


"I have tried using everything to clean my headlights and nothing worked. Then I tried PlastX. That is a great product. Thank you!"

R.S. -- Bellingham, WA


"Wow! I was really skeptical about finding something that would really work on my headlight plastic. I tried your product without really expecting good results. Was I surprised! Finally, a product that works as advertised! Any time I need car care products, I will reach for the Meguiar's first. Congratulations on a job well done!"

W.W. -- Saint Charles, MO


"I was a little skeptical before using PlastX on my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. The headlights were yellow and I was not sure PlastX would restore it back to the clear state; however I am extremely happy with the results. I would recommend PlastX to anyone whose car headlights are yellowed out."

"I just picked up your PlastX from Autozone to use on my 2002 Nissan Xterra's instrument cluster. Kudos to you. This product is incredible. It looks brand new and the light shines through 50% better. I can't thank you enough. What a great product!"

L.A. -- Deltona, FL


" I would like to say your PlastX really works. I have a 1966 corvette convertible which I have had a new convertible top installed on. My car was repainted after the top was put on. The paint shop let overspray get on the new rear plastic window. I ordered a bottle of PlastX and a pack of Gold Class foam applicators from your on-line store and proceeded to go to work on the rear window. I put on 2 applications of the PlastX on the rear window and sure enough, the rear window was perfect and without any overspray residue. Your product really worked for me. Thank you for making a product that really works like it says it will. Also, I have been using your other products for over 20 years and they are far superior to all the others. Thanks! "

P.W. -- Kernersville, NC


"The headlamps on my Ford were very hazy and yellowing. I went to Ford and they wanted over $500.00 to replace the lenses. I went to my local Auto Zone, and the young man there told me I should purchase Meguiar's PlastX. He said I wouldn't be disappointed. After using the product, it made those headlamps look like new! I was amazed and though I should let you know. Thank you for saving me nearly $500.00"

B.K. -- Denver, CO


"I had purchased a car that was broken into at the dealership and the plastic lens on the speedometer was scratched as they tried to steal the car. Anyway, I had thought I could deal with the scratches being there, but after several months I wanted a new lens. Upon going to the dealership they said that I would need to purchase a whole new cluster to get the new lens. I left the dealership and searched the internet for something to buff plastic and take out the scratches. My search yielded your "PlastX" product. I went to the auto parts store today and in the parking lot of the store I used the product. My absolute amazement with this product is indescribable. Right there is the auto parts store parking lot within a few minutes of rubbing the product onto the plastic the scratches were gone!!! Truly an amazing product and the BEST $6.44 I have ever spent! I will be sure to let anyone I know about this product that may have a similar situation or something that would work with this product. Thank you very much for making this product as now I am spared the cost of buying a new cluster to obtain the new lens just to see the 60 & 70 mph numbers."

M.J. -- Clermont, FL


"Hey guys, just wanted to drop you a note to let you know your PlastX works miracles! I'd tried every trick I knew to restore the rt. headlight on my 2000 Prelude but it looked like I was going to have to shell out over $200 for a new one (no aftermarket headlights available!). I was hesitant about using PlastX but I'm glad I did! I just wish I had taken a "before" picture to show the difference it made. You guys rock!"

B.K. -- Fort Worth, TX


"I have always been a Meguiar's customer. I take great pride in my automobiles and always give them the best care. Recently the crystal headlight lenses on my wife's 2000 VW Jetta started to cloud. I heard about your PlastX and bought it yesterday. WOW! In five minutes they looked almost brand new. I am amazed and impressed. I will be a Meguiar's customer for life. Thank you for your great automotive products. I am certified Car Crazy!"

S.A. -- Cape Coral, FL


"I recently tried PlastX on the three vehicles I own. My 1994 Ford Taurus had hazy headlight lenses, and the instrument panel was also noticeably scratched. Your product brought them back to like new condition! The glare was reduced to near zero on my gauges, and my headlight performance and appearance was greatly improved. Kudos for another outstanding product. Like all of your products I have tried, it exceeded my expectations. It was easy to use, and had no unpleasant odor. I recommend your products to all of my friends. Thank You!"

D.R. -- Jamestown, NY


"I was on-line last night looking for plastic head light covers for my wife's 1999 Nissan Altima. To replace the plastic covers was $80.00 each. Well, we purchased your PlastX product. My wife first cleaned the plastic headlight covers with Windex. At first with the Windex they looked real good, maybe that was all they needed? No, when the Windex dried they were still the same. So your PlastX was used next. We could see a big difference right away, or was it like the Windex? We followed the directions and we were very surprised that they LOOKED LIKE NEW. They really do look new, even hours later. You have a wonderful product. Your PlastX saved us a lot of money, over $150.00. There probably is a big market for PlastX, if only people knew how great it works. Thank you!"

J.P. -- Kennesaw, GA


"This picture was taken at one of our weekly clinics here at the Meguiar's office in Irvine. PlastX does a pretty incredible job of restoring the headlights on this Mustang.

"Wow! Thanks Meguiar's for saving me $300 to $400! Let me tell you how. My 1991 Ford Escort station wagon got caught in the middle of a four-car bumper thumper about two weeks ago. The car is a good little car, but due to its age, almost any accident would have brought about damage costs that would exceed the value of the car. Since the car has served me well, is still in good mechanical condition, has little other damage, and has lots of miles left in it, I chose to buy back the car for "salvage" value from the insurance company. Come to find out, the DMV requires a brake and light inspection before allowing the car to be re- registered. Makes sense, but have you noticed how hazy and yellow those headlamp covers get on Ford Escorts, especially after 15 years?! Well, the lens covers "failed" the light inspection, just as the garage owner had predicted when I dropped it off for the inspection. Fortunately I had the foresight to call up Pep Boys to see if there was a product that would help clear up the lens covers and let more light through. They suggested Meguiar's PlastX. I bought the $6.99 bottle and tested it out on my 11- year-old Dodge Caravan that was still at home. Wow! What an obvious difference! Shortly after testing out the PlastX on my Caravan, the inspection garage owner called me back to give me the bad news about the headlamps "failing" in the inspection. He told me that I could choose after-market lenses or Ford lenses - with labor, I was looking at $300 to $400 for a car I just bought back for a little over $100! Having nothing to lose, I told the owner I would like to try to polish the lens covers of the Escort with the Meguiar’s PlastX and have him recheck them for brightness. He said, "OK." I got out my pad and cloth and applied the PlastX. The owner and one of his employees watched in amazement as years of yellowed, glazed frostiness simply melted away before our eyes! I used the PlastX on the worst of the two lens covers first. The owner retested the lighting capacity/intensity and to his amazement (an my relief) the lighting was more than adequate. Thanks totally to Meguiar’s PlastX! The garage owner was very impressed! The Escort passed the inspection and the DMV re-registered my car! I am very grateful that I only spent a little over $7 instead of over $300! When I got home, I told my neighbor about PlastX and let him use it. He is sold on it now too. Then I showed another friend and am letting him use it too. I sent my "before" and "after" photos via e- mail to many other friends and family and they are all "wowing" the results as well! I can't thank you enough for a superb car care product. Also, thanks for helping to put a great little car back on the road! I am sold on Meguiar’s."

D.Z. -- Costa Mesa, CA


"Thank you! I have just discovered Meguiar’s PlastX. The clear covers on my MX7000 Code 3 light-bar were dull and yellowed. I didn't think that there was anything I could do about it. Well, thanks to Meguiar's PlastX I now have a new looking light-bar and a better looking patrol unit! On behalf of the Kansas Highway Patrol, I thank you!"

R.O. -- Abilene, KS


"I went to Checker's Auto Parts and picked up a bottle of your Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish to use on a scratch that my cat left behind on the headlight of my Toyota Celica. The PlastX took off the scratch with just a few applications. I am glad that you guys have this stuff and am very impressed with Meguiar's."

"I thought I would write and tell you about the surprise I had concerning one of your fine products. I was in my local parts store (AutoZone) in Erie PA and just happened to see next to the automotive bulbs, a small packet of PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish. I looked at the price and decided to buy it for .99 cents. The first day that it warmed up, I decided to try it on my 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager and what a shock I was in for. I could not believe the difference, before and after. Since that time, I had bought two more of those packets and have since cleaned the headlight lenses. This is the first time they have been cleaned since I owned the car. I very honestly thought this summer that I would go to a salvage yard and replace both headlight lenses as they were so tarnished with grime, oxidation, etc. This was before I decided to try your product. You would not believe the difference; my headlights are actually bright again. I very recently ordered the 10oz bottle of PlastX and will keep it in stock for my car and motor home. Your product is amazing and gave me the results that I thought I would never see."

R. W. -- Erie, PA


"I recently bought a sachet of PlastX while on a visit to San Diego, to try it out. I'm amazed at the result and the ease with which my headlamp lenses were restored to a clear brilliance. I also noted that the lenses actually feel different to the touch. I'd recommend this product. My only regret is that it's not available in Jamaica and I won't be able to get more, now that I know how well it works."

S. D. -- Ensom City, Jamaica,


"You guys ROCK! I bought a black iPod nano and the scratches show up big time on it. I've tried a bunch of Apple-specific products and some third party ones as well before I found PlastX. It worked the first time, left no residual scratches, required very little effort, and costs way less than the other brands I've tried. Thank you SO much for making a functional and affordable product!"

A. M. -- Kent, WA


"I just bought a bottle of your PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner, and I have to say I am extremely impressed. I have a 1993 Nissan 240 SX that I bought from a woman who severely neglected the car's finish as well as general upkeep. I managed to restore the OE finish and some interior components but the headlights and tail lights were still an eyesore. I tried scrubbing them with a good carwash and when that didn't work, I tried a competitive product with similar results. I had almost given up and bought entirely new headlights when I came across your PlastX Cleaner in a local Auto store. Granted I had become somewhat jaded at that point and figured if it didn't work either, I would find some other use for it. It only took me five or six minutes to clean both the head lights and tail lights and it should be said that the headlight were hazed to a dull yellow. FIVE or SIX MINUTES to clean twelve years worth of haze!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!! If all of your other car care products are of this caliber, then consider me a Meguair’s guy from here on out. Thanks again from a California native transplanted in Arkansas."

C. S. -- Sherwood, AR


"Yes, I just bought some of ya'lls PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish to git rid of a scratch on my speedometer & odometer plastic cover on my '05 Chevy Colorado Xtreme Crew and have to say that it worked GREAT!!! Thanks, Meguiar's for putting out such GREAT products on the market!!!"

B. W. -- North Little Rock, AR


"I own my own over-the-road truck along with an older Plymouth mini van. I have absolutly tried all types of cleaners, etc. to take the yellowish grime off of the clear plastic lenses. I was in a parts store and saw your product Plastx and thought what the heck, what's another 6 bucks? I went to my van first and effortlessly used your product and the plastic lenses are almost like new again and clear, and then to my truck, the exact same results, probably as close to new as you can get. I was to the point of purchasing new plastic lenses from the dealer ready to spend hundreds!! Your product is superior in my opinion saving me hundreds of dollars. Thanks Meguiar's!!!!"

B. A. -- Orlando, FL


"I just received my order. I tried PlastX and WOW.... I can't believe the difference in the headlights on my car. What a fabulous product. Keep up the great work Meguiars."

D. L. -- Elm, PA


"I purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry (Maroon color) and used your NXT Generation Tech Wax. I am still in shock over the way the car looks. I have NEVER seen such a glossy, swirl free finish, except on show cars. It went on in a flash and wiped right off with no dust. The car actually looks a shade or two darker in color. I also got some of your PlastX to keep my instrument panel shiny and I figured I'd try it on the headlights on my 1991 Ford Escort. Once again I'm shocked. The lenses were yellow and hazy and now they look brand new and are even brighter. I brought the PlastX up to work and me and some other guys were all in the parking lot shining our headlights and tail lights. Thanks for making products that do what they say they will do."

J. B. -- Katy, TX


"This stuff is awesome. You saved us $400. One dealer wanted to make us replaced the light covers that were all hazed up, but a dealer in Long Beach told me to try this product first and it worked!!! We are senior citizens and can't afford $400 for new head lights."

"I thought I'd do a little work on my daughter's '96 Honda Civic. Just one of those little stupid things that bothered me ever sine we purchased the car a year or so ago...a cloudy headlight cover...no big deal...a bit of compulsiveness on my part. Anyway, when picking up some oil yesterday at the auto parts store, waiting in line, I noticed an array of "checkout" items by the register which included the PlastX...what the heck...nothing else I previously tried to remove that haze worked. The PlastX did. I was shocked, amazed, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, incredibly pleased...so simple..I'm not easily impressed...PlastX blew me away. I was not prepared for results, let alone a dramatic improvement! Thank you for producing an effective and easy to use product for us perfectionist type people. Greatly appreciated."

"What a fantastic product!!! I recently bought a Lexus SC400 which had the typical dull polycarbonate headlights, 10 minutes with this product and they are like new, fantastic. Thank you very much."

"I had an awesome experience with Meguiar’s PlastX today. Pulled the taillight lenses off the ’70 Karmann Ghia, figuring I could polish them up a bit. (I'd guess nobody has paid attention to the taillight lenses in the past 34 years.) Here’s what happened after polishing one of them (Please wait, as photo loads):
