i asked the other day :)

So - I used meguiars glass polish - not a bad result , only did one side and have ordered Meguiars Plast RX Plastx Plastic cleaner and restorer polish to compare (as this was recommended on some other forums).

I'll upload some pictures afterwards.

Hi sorry to ask the obvious do you just apply this by hand and work it in and buff off ?? Would you recommend masking tape all the surrounding areas or not necessary ?? Cheers

No need to mask off, just use like a wax.
Wax on wax off ;)
