$10.00 for new headlights
Thought that might get your attention!!
Seriously, very rarely does a product come along that actually does everything it says it will. This product goes beyond that !!
My 1999 ML430 with exponential miles was in need of new headlights. The originals were totally pitted with sandblasting and just general crud. Some stuff actually looked like varnish and could not be removed. I tried both Mothers and Meguiars plastic cleaners and polish, and no go...even using a polishing pad with a Porter Cable 7224. I have been watching EBay for the last few months for replacements w/low miles. They sell for $100.00-$200.00 per set. Mind you these are standard 98/99/2000 halogen headlights. I've been happy with the illumination, particularly with PIAA higher output bulbs and I'm not interested in the expensive updates..(I'm cheap !!)
Well, at my local Autozone, I just noticed a product made by NicSand called 5 minute optical polish..sells for ten bucks. You get six pads impregnated with a special compound for polishing plastic. I believe it works on glass too. The results are simply amazing. Using an electric drill and following the simple directions, in 5-10 minutes your headlights look like new...No Joke!!!!
AutoZone part no is 605887 and NicSand is PDL-100. One of the best products I've run across in years..rates right up there with microfiber towels.

There is a car wax called Klassy from Germany, now being sold on Internet and MB dealer does the same great job on glass as well as on plastic. I have been using it in the last 20 years. It also remove minor scratches perfectly.
