I believe using petroleum jelly will not work, and if it does it won't last.


Hah, well it did work. Made the plastic look new on mine, and it's lasted a week so far.

Quak is there a lot of crap sticking to your taillights like dust? Also once you wash your car the jelly is gone. Don't tell me your going to finger your taillights all the time :0 :P

Ah hon, what me and my car do in the garage is non of your business Nah, no real problem with dust. I got some dirt on them because I drove through a cloud of it, but I just sprayed it wit the hose and it looked good as new.



Again though, none of this matters because I wrecked the ******* thing yesterday. Bitch slammed on her brakes and long story short, there was nothing I could do. When your brakes/tires just don't want to cooperate with you, it's all over.

when the plastic gets all crackly you can rub vaseline on there till your face turns blue, it wont cure it



you need to sand and paint it

Never said it was a cure...it's just a cheap-*** bandaid if you don't feel like repainting it.
