I have found that any abrasive works.  Even used 2000 grit sandpaper with water as a start on our Honda Fit.

The last set I did (father in-laws Acura TSX) I just grabbed my rotary buffer with a fine cut pad and some Meguiars fine cut cleaner and let it eat.  Came out same as the rest, but was faster.

I'm testing this stuff as a UV protectant on two cars...

I like that it adds shine and is a more permanent solution than sealant.  Judging by how it goes on and the smell, I'm pretty sure it's just clear coat made for plastic.

Only difficult part of it's use is that you have to either remove the headlight to spray or do a good masking job.  Otherwise you will have clear to remove from the surrounding area.

I'll have to go see if I can find some of this at a local parts place.  Wonder how many cars 4oz. will do.

It will do at least 2 cars with two coats each because that's what I've done so far.  Feels like there's enough in the can to do one more car.

I bought it at my local Wal-mart.  Found it on Amazon and had it in my cart, but hadn't ordered yet.  Was in Wal-mart and wandered down the car care isle and there it was.  Cost was $8 and change.
