I finally bagged one of the Shield DA6's that Carn had on offer and collected it from the post office on Friday. Didn't a chance to give it a full go but did a quick test on one of the headlights on my wife's Toyota RunX and a small section of my E46 BMW 320. I like the machine and have been impressed on the quick test results.....here are a few pics of the RunX headlight (sorry for the poor quality Blackberry pics)

BEFORE

gave it a wipe down with some Megs Quick Detailer and microfibre cloth and taped up

I used Megs Scratch X even though I knew it wasnt totally appropriate - on the yellow pad. Used the machine on speed setting 3 and worked it for about 1,5 - 2 minutes.

RESULT

It is a huge improvement which the pics dont fully capture. I didnt take any pics of the test on the BMW but I managed to get out some scratches on the right rear fender.

Now what do I need to do to clean the pad?
That is a huge improvement... Well done! (Are those plastic or glass?)
Advisable to slap on a sealant/wax on the headlights once corrected to avoid them from turning yellow/milky


To clean the pads, the sooner you do this the better!
What works for me is a drop of sunlight liquid worked in with your finger tips and then thoroughly rinsed... Press a clean MF against it to remove excess water and then leave lay claim to the kitchen dish rack to dry.
Thanks Onyx. The headlight lenses are plastic.
Bawling I'm so jealous right now...lol...they came out nice man, I hear megs plastX works well on headlights and tail-lights too..but you probably know that already. Enjoy your new toy bud! Thumb
Nice work Prevan, good to see you playing with the new toy Bluebiggrin
