prob worth trying on the plastic parts.
im curious as to how it works on headlights. i notice that they never once really said it or showed it being applied to headlights. My guess is that it works just as well as the other BS products that claim to rejuvenate them.

Never used that particular one, but most of those products just do a 1/2 arse job...The 3M kit with the 2 different sanding discs and such works really well on the plastic headlight covers that start yellowing over time.

One of the best ones I have seen.

I've used Wipe New and it's awesome. The only thing is that it comes in a tiny bottle and you need way more than that. It's also expensive for the said tiny bottle.
For my bumpers I use Back to Black. It's a red bottle and awesome! My cherokee is 14 years old and the bumpers were light gray and now look like new.
The first few applications you have to use it almost every week but once the liquid starts to seep into the pores of the bumper, over time, you only need to use 1 or 2 times a month.
*for the best application use a foam sponge instead of a rag or cloth.

Wipe New works GREAT on all the plastic & lenses!! I just read somewhere that Consumer Reports only "endorsed" 2 kits and this was one of them.

Why not just change lens covers?

OEM headlight lenses for my 1998 4runner are $400 for the pair.

There are a few products that work good but don't last; Wipe New got endorsed by Consumer Reports because it works great and lasts longer than other kits.

Mothers makes a kit with sanding discs that works like a charm. headlights look brand new.
As far as headlights go, you need to purchase a kit that utilizes a power drill. Hand sanding won't cut it.

The lens? Just go to rockauto and search for your vehicle. They have it set up to work well on mobile. Keystone is another place with cheap stuff
