Mirror Glaze M17 Clear Plastic Cleaner

I was riding along in my new boat, with my new fish finder, at dusk, when I was suddenly surrounded by a cloud of little white insects. They were insanely attracted to my backlit fish finder, and crowded around the screen so much that I literally could not see the screen itself at all. In a flash of genius, I sprayed the fish finder with bug repellent. Well, that didn't work at all, and now I had 2 problems. It turns out DEET etches plastic fairly well. The next day, the screen was, for all intents and purposes, completely unreadable in daylight, and only moderately readable at night. I hopped onto some of the fishing forums, not quite admitting that I had purposely sprayed DEET all over my fishfinder, just kinda implying that the wind took some of it while I was spraying myself (I already knew how much of an idiot I was, I didn't want to brag about it). Several of them recommended Meguiar's #17 Clear Plastic Cleaner along with Meguiar's #10 Clear Plastic Polish. They told me I wouldn't be disappointed. Of course, as Abraham Lincoln once said, one must take information found on the Internet with a grain of salt. I meandered over to Amazon, and priced out the #17 and #10, and found out that with shipping, it came out to around $25. For that price, compared to buying a $400 fishfinder/ chartplotter, I did not have a lot to lose. Click, click, BUY. I got the package in the mail today, and immediately took the #17 to the fishfinder screen with a clean white washcloth and started rubbing it in. For the first few minutes, I thought I had wasted $25, but after about 5 minutes of rubbing the cleaner in (with only a few drops applied every 90 seconds or so) it was obviously working well. A firm, quick buffing action, alternating between little circles and up-down, left-right motion, and in about 7 minutes that screen looked like it had just come out of the box. Per the recommendations in the instructions, I applied the #10 polish immediately afterwards, and it looked better than new. I was incredibly impressed with myself, and Meguiar's products. Now I can tell fishing partners about the idiot who sprayed DEET on my fishfinder without ever mentioning who that idiot was. Totally worth the money.

This is the only product that will remove fine scratches on your guage cluster cover. I ignorantly added fine scratches all over my guage cluster cover trying to clean it. I've tried every product recommended online but nothing else actually works. Other plastic polish products will leave scratches, including Plastx. You'll see all the damage when you shine a bright flashlight on it of in direct sunlight. Do not use anything else but this product alone and you will not be disappointed. It really works! The only problem is actually getting your hands on a bottle as it's always sold out.

One of the best plastic cleaners I've found. Non-Abrasive but capable of removing/smoothing minor scratches, and very capable of restoring clarity to dulled lenses. Works on a variety of surfaces, not just automotive lenses. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a used vehicle and it has minor hair line cratches on the instrument cluster. I know you have to be extremely careful what you use to clean or polish these so I chose #17 plastic cleaner as it clearly states it can be used for “displays & instrument panels”. I tried it on a old useless gauge cluster from an old hobby car to test the product 1st. Here is the finished results after just 5 minutes if that of hand polishing with a brand new fresh microfiber. I finished with #10 plastic polish mostly because it claims it will help provide an anti static layer to prevent future dust build up as well as Inhance clarity. It was very clear with just #17 and that alone would probably suffice for most people. Wow just thrilled meguairs thank you for making such fine products! No longer do I have to stare at ugly scratches!

If I could give this six stars I would. I purchased because of the good reviews and the relatively low price. My headlights were not in that bad of shape, but I wanted to improve their overall clarity, and this product absolutely delivered. With very little effort, my headlights looked brand new! My friend and I, both of whom have used more expensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming products in the past, were blown away. Not only was this product easy to use, but both of us thought the result was better than the aforementioned headlight restoration kits we had used in the past. We were so impressed we ended up cleaning the headlights on three different vehicles, and each time walked away extremely pleased with the result. Is the effect permanent? I don't know, nor do I care. If the headlights fog up again in a couple of months, three minutes will be all it will take to get them shining again! I followed the M17 up with the M10 polish, as directed. Do yourself a favor and buy this product.

I purchased this a long with Meguiar's M10 to clear up some scratched and foggy Jeep Wrangler windows of mine. It did a great job coupled with the Craftsman random orbit buffer I bought locally. Not only did it reduce the appearance of smaller scratches it nearly cleared up the fog left by other cleaning products and from natural weathering of the clear plastic. I feel that after a few more applications that it will more than likely return my windows to a near new state. Be wary of your prep work though as if you don't take care to tape up the fabric near the windows it will cause your top/frame to take on a white color. I'm sure this will wash out and I was aware of this before hand but really didn't care to use tape as the top needs replacing soon anyways and because it's a Jeep. 1/13/2015 Redid my cleaning a couple of weeks ago and while they started to fog up again I believe it was mostly from daily driving in dirt and off roading some. The second time I applied the cleaner and polisher I feel like I had a better understanding of using my buffer and did a better job of protecting the canvas around the windows (the polisher will turn your canvas white if you're not careful). The good news is I still have enough cleaner and polisher for another 2 or 3 complete cleanings.

of my 64' ford falcon convertible. i was hoping for more... but i guess the window it just to badly damaged from the sun.... its about 7 years old now (window) but i have lots of trouble seeing through it... i thought i will give this a shot before spending the money to replace the window

In the past, on a previous car, I used the 3M headlight restoration kit with various grades of sand paper and then polish. This time before going the sand paper route - messier, more time consuming and easier to screw up the chrome plastic trim surrounding the headlight lenses - I thought I'd try just the Meguiar's combo. Worked fantastically on my 2002 Audi A6.. I used the small buffing pad I had from the previous 3M kit with a hand-held electric drill. Made several vertical then horizontal passes with the #17 Cleaner, wiped the lenses clean and followed with the #10 Polish. Took a total of about fifteen minutes a lens. The lenses look as good as those on any new car around. One tip would be to drape some old sheets around the surrounding areas of your car. The spinning pad does throw the cleaner and polish around and while it does wash/wipe off the hard finished surfaces, it was a little bit of a hassle cleaning it off the exposed engine parts. (I had raised the hood to have better access to the lenses.)

Used for instruments on a boat, and it brought them back to near-new condition.

Non ha pulito come mi auspicavo. Non mi è sembrato un prodotto professionale o comunque all'altezza delle aspettative.anche in questo caso punterò su altre marche

Works really well, and great service
