Do you wax headlight?

...can't find anything in search...sorry if repost.

It's wonderful day in Toronto today to do some winter prep.
Need advice from detailing pros.

Do you suppose to wax only painted parts of your car? My understanding you not do that with crome and windows, but do you suppose to wax any fog, head or backlights?

I use Plexus Plastic Cleaner or QUIK SHINE from Clearkote. Go here for more info: http://autopia.org/

I use Zaino products, and I do the headlights with their polishes. I think the results are fantastic! I swear they look clearer than new.

It completely depends on the brand of product and the product itself. Read the back of the label for what your wax should not be used for.
