That's a ridiculously good tip. I may have to try that on my friends prelude. Do you know if it gets hazy again pretty quickly or anything along those lines? It would be interesting to see if it helps for a longer period of time than the plastic polish stuff...

I tried both plastic polish and this mother's aluminum polish. It pretty much gives the same results but the mother's aluminum polish can be used on plastic (not recommended by the manufacturer, however it works) and aluminum. So I keep only one product for both plastic and aluminum insted of two. I also used the product for polishing my gauge cluster lens (plastic cover). I love this thing. I always keep an extra tub handy. I use it on all of our cars.

In my opinion, NOVUS plastic cleaner still works best - i bought mine on e-bay for about 13 bucks shipped. Its a 3 step process, but the stuff looks like glass when your done:
1994 RS DOHC, Modified Cold Air Intake, Clear Corners all around, Black Altezza Tail lights. Blue cold cathodes in driver / passenger foot areas. Lowerd on Evotion Springs (1.75 drop F/R) with KYB GR2 struts. Sitting on 17x7 (40 mm offset) 5 Spoke rims with KUHMO 205/40/R17 Tires.

i think out of everything i have tried, i have seen the most improvements out of Novus. but the best and fastest way is always with a buffer and a 2 speed drill.
