I learned how to do it on a $24 Meguair's kit that I got from Autozone. I did it on my MIL's Honda Civic and had great results, they looked brand new. But the problem is that when you're done you haven't really done a complete job. They include a 1200 grit and 1500 grit sanding pad, and then some wax and a "plastic protectant" for you to apply. What you need to do is get off ALL of the old UV factory clear coat that's corroding, that means going down to the actual plastic lens. You can't really do this with a 1200 grit sanding pad. You have to start with either 320 or 500 (on really bad ones I've had to use 180 before) then gradually move up in grit. I usually use 320, 500, 800, 1200, 1500, and then polish it with a 3000. By then it looks brand new, but you're not done. You have to apply a QUALITY UV clear coat, not just some wax and some off the shelf protectant. Maybe if you were to apply that stuff every single week for the rest of your life it might look ok for a while, but sooner or later it will come back. Trust me, I've been doing this for a while now and half of my customers are people that tried to use the off the shelf kits only to have it come back in 4 months. I'm probably gonna do a tutorial and take video soon then post it in the DIY. Actually I think I have a DIY posted on it, I can just add video.

IKR... thank you though :tiphat: I was also relieved when my wife arrived home, and she could not see any damage at all.

I have an audio recording of our conversation after the incident (habit for me now - and legal in TX), but I can't believe I didn't take any photos :shakes head: Obviously, I would have if there had been damage.

:mad: that I got rear ended yesterday on the drive home while stopped at a red light

:icon14: that there was absolutely zero damage... like nada, zilch, nothing!

:happydance: that the Saturn Vue has a bumper that feels almost rubbery and hit the Z right smack on the Nissan emblem at about 0.05 mph (I've moved the Z more while leaning on it when parked)

yah, i can imagine the tense emotions when our luved cars are bumped so i can understand forgetting to do things that aren't really necessary.

i made a note in my smartphone for myself (and the wife) in case we get into an accident. it just shows the items to do and to take record of. :)

simple things like remembering to get your insurance card back or, taking out your wallet or purse before car is towed, etc. it's good to have a collapsable bag in the trunk to toss in your personal items in case you do need to get the car towed to a bodyshop.
