where can i buy it

They are no longer produced, we WERE trying to get renova auto to start aking them again, but no one followed through on contacting them I think.

You will have to wait for someone to sell one of theirs.

You may be alot better off cutting the crome outer layer off of your OEM grill, and buyinh Home depot mesh and inserting it.

There is a product sold by walmart, autozone, advance autoparts etc. called PlastX by Meguiars. It works wonders on yellowed, scratched or hazed headlights. I have used it before, and it really works.

how does it work? if your headlights are all glazed over or scratched up.. how can chemicals make it clear again?

i could sure use some of that!

thanks for the tip guys. il probably get that product once i get my car.

i was wondering how people insert mesh in their grills?

^ It basically just cuts through the oxidation. Its good for very fine scratches, I have used it, and i love it. I'm not a chem major so i don't know specifics haha

It uses Micro-abrasive compounds that "gently" polish out the yellowed layer and small scratches.

Hahaha, that's my car! And btw, that's actually a grill that pre-dates the Renova by several years, that is also fiberglass and no longer in existence.
