    Guys, what's the best and effective protectant for clear plastic lens for tail lights and headlights? The one that would prevent cracking in time.

    I tried to checked on Turtle Wax F21 Super Protectant but it says "do not use on clear plastics"

    Bossing, san ba makabili nito? matagal mo na ba ginagamit 'to? Is there any precaution on the use of this product?

    *restituto: I would recommend 3 brands available locally that i have tried and have had spectacular results. The first one would be Megs PlastX, it contains mild abrasives so if you're planning on removing certain contaminants or scratches on the clear plastic this would do that and also add protection all in one easy step. The next one would be Mother's Naturally black, now this also works well for clear plastic not only on black trims, it gives a durable protection from the elements but this is good for protecting and preserving well maintained clear plastics, although it has cleaning properties for black rubber trims it doesn't seem to clean that much when it comes to clear plastics. The next one would be Mothers Plastic Polish, this is good for cleaning, polishing and protecting clear plastics at the same time leaving a nice protection as well, although IMO not as durable as the before mentioned products. Both mothers products i think sell for 385 SRP and the Plast X goes for about 800 if i remember it right. For overall value i would suggest you go with Naturally black is its for pure protection. If its for cleaning also Plastic polish. If you want a slightly barely noticeable improvement on both mothers products and the ease of doing it in one easy step then go for Megs Plast X

    Hope this helps

    I'm with madkatz on the Meguiar's PlastX and the Mothers Plastic Polish. Regular application of either one would be a good strategy to prevent cracking/oxidation of the head and tail lights.
