Bought this stuff at Home Depot and it worked pretty slick with my 18 volt cordless. Didn't take long at all. 4" wheel and compound stick. Says it's good for plastic and chrome. I heated the compound stick a little.

I used AutoSol polish on my instrument cluster lenses with a drill mounted buffer, even though the tube says "meatl polish". Read about it in Eastwood. Took all the scratches out. Should work on tail light lenses as well.

No problem for me to open the pics, either....ya'll may have just gotten redirected to a bogus URL. Have ya tried it lately? May work for you now.

Those look NICE Jeff!

btw...Norton sux, imho. It won't even let me get my OWN e-mails....just a little to heavy handed for me. Avast works extremely well for me...

I switched from Norton to McAfee a long time ago. Norton takes up a ton of space and operating power.
