I'm trying Mother's Mag Wheel Polish to clean off the dulling/weathering on
the plastic head/parking light lenses of my '93 GMC pickup and it seems to
be doing a better job than other things I've tried like Novus(?) plastic
polish. Regardless of what polishing agent you use you can try polishing and
buffing by hand before or instead of machine buffing.

I have a full size polisher, but I'm looking for a smaller polishing
attachment of some sort that I can use in my variable speed cordless drills
to speed up the process some once I decide what kind of polish works best
for what I'm doing.

I don't like hand polishing that much! ;>)

FWIW,
Ron
