PlastX is good stuff

I picked up a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX today on a few recommendations I've seen here and at Becoka's photography forum. Definitely an improvement over the Brasso I had been using. These pictures are at the resolution of the detector on my camera.

Excellent results.

I presume you can get this from a typical auto parts store, right?

How did you polish the slab, in circular motions or in linear motions?

what was on the "before coin" - gunk or just some haze?

Got PlastX at Murray's. I assume Pep Boys or any other well-stocked parts store has it, too.

The stuff on the slab was an abraision that I was able to polish out, not gunk. There are still some scratches, but they don't impair visibility and they are out of focus.

I polished the slab in a circle for a while, then with linear motions. When I buffed it, it was primarily linear, but I changed directions. I don't see any streaking effects.
