3M polish alternative

[cjgower]

I'm going to give my lights another go and was wondering if I could use any old polish to buff them up? I have some autoglym super resin polish, would that do?

Best off to ask in the detailing section mate, but I'm not sure SRP will do it as its more of a filling polish than a cutting polish.

Depends how bad they are, and if you are doing by hand or machine?

Wasn't sure which thread to post this in. I was going to use a drill and the head that came with the 3m kit

SRP is very very light cut so it will more clean and shine the headlight rather than actually 'refining' the plastic

Would be better off using something more aggressive, preferably a cutting compound, but if you haven't got any use t-cut or SRP, it will at least improve it a little for the time being, but again depends how bad they are, they may even come up really well if they are more dirty than anything else.

Cheers mate, I'll try some t cut as I know I have some

Best off using something like farecla G6 or maybe 3M's trizact compound. Best results with a machine though.

Let us know how you get on...

Post some before and afters

Some scratch-x or similar will do the job

T cut should be fine.
