I'm interested to see how it holds up after a few weeks...Everything I've used has faded by then.

I just read about this method on another forum and have read on the interwebs this works also

I had heard about a tip to restore them easily and decided to give it a try. It worked great! So here's how to do it:

Supplies needed:

Windex
Old Socks
Colgate White Toothpaste
Clean rag

Spray the light with windex.
Put a Sock on your hand, and squeeze a liberal amount of toothpaste on the sock.
Rub the light, and spray intermittently with Windex as it starts to dry.
Will probably spray 3 or 4 times.
Use the clean rag to wipe down.
Spray Windex one last time to remove residue.

That's it! You'll be amazed how good this works!

Umm, I thought we were talking about trim?

I, too, was ready to order Wipe New. However, I didn't like the response to the question...What is the Wipe New get on your paint? Basically, you should not get that stuff on your paint.
