I'm assuming I can polish the plastic on the headlights in my 2006 Toyota Matrix. I plastic is still "clear", but all the road grit over the years have pitted and fogged the surface. Any advice on material for polishing?

Don't do it. It'll clear it for a day or so, but with no UV protection it'll haze up again really fast.

Get a proper kit, and make sure it has a UV protective coating to apply at the end.

Good to know, thanks!
