Sounds identical to Plexus, Honda Plastic Cleaner, or any number of other plastic cleaners. Looks like it works well!

I posted a similar product when somebody did a review of the bavauto lens cleaning kit. The bavauto kit is just rubbing compound and will destroy the top UV layer of your plastic headlight covers... Depending on what is in this product, it should be safer to use than any rubbing compound sanding method...

Ask me how my headlights looked after 6 months of sitting in the sun after using the bavauto kit. Not good...

I wouldn't doubt if this FW1 stuff is exactly the same as the Prexus & Honda Cleaner you mention...
Hey it worked for me.. and I thought my lights had no more hope..
My car use to have this swirl look to the paint.. like small thin circular scratches.. I think that's why everytime I took it to the car wash they told me I needed to wax it.. and now those marks are gone.. even the black scuff marks at the bottom of my driver side I made with my shoes (ji..ji my bad).. came off

You just gave me an idea.. I always park in reverse at work..but I go all the back on the carport so the sun won't hit my headlights.. so now I won't go so far back so the sun can hit them and I'll see if this product "really" works...

I live in AZ.. so I'll defitnately get A LOT of sun on them..

What you paid for your Kit at BavAuto, is what we paid for 2 cans. My father-in-law used it on his entire Corvette and I already used it on my Bimmer.. and I think we have enough left to do my husband's F-150.. which is really really dirty cause it's his work truck.. I'll take before and after pics.. I'm sure they'll be good ones..

Good Morning.. ...
Sorry I wasn't able to reply back guys... very busy weekend.. anyway.. I checked that FW1 can and it DOESN'T have the ingredients section. In the front it does say that it has Carnuba Wash.. but it doesn't state all the ingredients.. :/

I just bought a 98ti after reading this site for info... but I'm terribly impatient and have to wonder if anyone knows where I could buy some of this FW1 junk or am I going to have to order it online? I actually thought the haze was from dust on the inside of the lense, but figured I'd check here first before I started tearing stuff apart. Now I'm glad I did check.

Ain't she pretty?

This is my problem correct?

Have you used it on the wheels by chance? Mine seem to accumulate brake dust like mad and I'd like to have an easier time keeping mine clean.

I'm sure a real plastic polish will work better. I use 3M Plastic Polish on my headlights and it works very well.

I just looked it up and its cheap enough. I just thought that other stuff might be nice for a touchup product to keep in the car. Thanks for the suggestion.
