    Dud you spray the cold water after the wax hazed and right before buffing it off or after you buffed it off as a final wipe down?

    Thanks a lot!

    Polishing headlights is like polishing glass--and they're both like polishing paint. You can go very aggressive with the polish, but you have to watch your speed and heat build up because plastic (which glass has a layer of plastic in between the panes of glass) can't dissipate hit like the metal on paint can, so you just have to watch your speeds and be more cautious of what you're doing. Other than that, no real difference, they both of clear coats :shrug:

    Haha, I was gonna put it in the freezer too, but was afraid I'd forget it. It also helps our refrigerator at home can be set to the temp you want digitally, and since it was at 34, that's "almost" freezing like togwt said, so I was good to go!

    Thank you!

    Thanks, Kei! Good luck with the car!

    Both, and still hazed at the bottoms of the doors. I just went over it with a dry super plush MF like in the picture and it worked :shrug:

    How did you get that grille 90% swirl free? It isn't metal, it's plastic. I have had no luck on mine with with P21S.

    I used polish by hand on foam finger pads. Yes, I know it's plastic, but it's still clear coated.

    Thanks Angelo!

    Good idea, using foam fingers for polishing metal. Thanks.
