Can anyone tell me if they sell Meguiars PlastX products here in Canada? If not what can we buy here to clear our headlight covers? Thanx

a quick search would have found this thread of mine. Hazing headlights
In that thread you will see that Canadian Tire sells it.
If you read my thread and don't believe the part about Plexus, there's a few on here that I have converted to it. 
I use meguires first and finish with plexus.

Chongo, How is it holding out since you did it in April?
SleeperTour, Did you use both or just Plexus?
My stock is getting yellow and I want to get the best recommendation (short of spending $400 for new ones) before spending a penny. Thanks.

I did just the one time sanding of them, and use meguires/plexus to polish them about once a month.
Looks good.
Some say to try Meguires before you sand as this may eliminate sanding for some people.

If you read Chongo's earlier post, you will realize that you also need Plexus or it will haze over, overnight.

I haven't tried Plexus,but when I had my '98 Mystique,I wetsaded the lights and then just used Turtle Wax on them and they stayed clear for the rest of the time I owned the car.
The pre98 lights just suck,and there's nothing you can do about it. I've had my car 3 months and have already had to dehaze the lights 3 times. Today was the 3rd time. I didn't sand,but I just used PlastX and they came out looking brand new again,and then I did my turn signals and tails just for the hell of it.
I'll see how it holds up tomorrow. Right now they're looking pretty nice though.
