was wondering if there is n e thing besides wax that i can use to shine up my tail lights and center garnish?they are lookin ashy and r making my rear end ugly (besides the gigantic ***** looking exaust tip the previous owner put on). dont want to use wax bc i want something that wont come off in two days

 

1000g then 2000g wet sand...lightly though.

then rub on some Meguires PlastX Plastic polish. After its rubbed on, wait a minute for it to dry, then rub off with a terry cloth towel.

 

awesome thanks man

 

If they are just faded then I would use a rubbing compound followed by wax or the above product. It they are scratched bad then I would use the above advice and go with wet sanding. Either way should bring them back good. Just make sure to tape around your civic decal if it is still on the center garnish.

 

I saw that Meguiers one and heard it is good.

 

Blue Magic headlight polish works great too. I would say better than Meguiars.

 

Like 4g4dcruisin - I used 2000 grit wet sand then I applied by hand Meguiar's M1708 #17 Clear Plastic Cleaner, then Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish. Then I used Meguiar's G12310 PlastX Clear Plastic Polish with a hand drill and foam powerball attachement.

Came out good... might need another pass with a faster polisher:

 

Sure you do koala...
On the real Koala has super sexy lights!!

 

Also...If you guys are noticing some hazing make sure to pick up some Haze/swirl remover..Works wonders!!

 

Wow, those tail lights look like new!!

 

thanks a lot guys

naw my civic is gone, previous owner took it off ?? wtf?? hahah
gonna get a new one tho

just tired of seeing them look dry just deppressing

they sell all this stuff at vatozone?

 

Yeah I have seen it there before.

 

Is there any write up how to remove the taillight lens ? I need to clean mine. I'm searching it now, but a extra hand will be nice. Thx

 

Removing the whole taillight is easy. Inside the trunk, just remove the bulbs and unplug the wires, then unscrew the nuts holding them in. If you want to take the lens off the housing, not sure if you need to go that far if your just cleaning the surfaces.

 

I just did take off the lens, Ill make write up later. Here the casualty.
