Meguiars plastic X (good)

3M plastic cleaner, and then 3M plastic polish (really good)

Novus 3 step plastic polishes (BEST)

In the last 6 Months, I've decided to "stock up" on my lightning "wear" items.Tail lights, corners,interior peices,Fog Lamps,I/C pump,ect. As these nos parts begin to be depleted, I find that keeping a stocked shelf just for these parts is a smart move for anyone who plans on keeping these legendary trucks that will start to become collectable. Just my 2 cents.

Fortunately, I havent had the problem with the L' because I keep it garaged most ot the time. I had the same problem with my old stang. If you use the steps listed above it heps out alot. BUT, you need to maintain polishing or it will come back.

Something got on my Lexon Rear Window at Atco and all of a sudden I got this big *** dull spot (kinda looks like that dude with Florida on his head)


It doesnt seem to be on the inside or the outside either, almost like it's all of a sudden in the lexon, anything to remove such a mark ???

Rob,
Sounds ilike it may be an air bubble in between the lexon. If you presse the the out side and the inside of the glass together, does it move the spot around or close the gap? Maybe the lexon separated with all that torque twisting that truck.
