Polishing Plastic Parts

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Eric Strurgis for the article on dash restoration.  I'm sure some of you know this already, but an alternative to plastic polishes is toothpaste.  I used toothpaste on my dash plastic and it worked great.  Mine had paint overspray on it from the previous owner painting the interior of the car, and toothpaste and elbow grease cleaned it up very nicely.  I've used it on my tail light lenses, too.  I've also used it on modern vehicle headlights - it works great.  If the headlights are especially bad, wet sand with different grits of sandpaper first, then finish by polishing with toothpaste.  It's much cheaper than the headlight restoration kits.
