back to black from mothers is the best trim restorer stuff i've found but pretty much anything you'll have to keep maintained every now and then or it'll get that dull grey color

you can either use wax or a light rubbing compound to get the yellow off your lights, just make sure you wipe it on, let it glaze over, then use a different, extra clean and dry rag/towell to get it all off or else you'll just bake in the wax and it'll end up looking worse and you'll just have to do it again...try to keep the wax off any trim too or else it'll be a pain in the ass to get off.

I agree , use mothers back to black. Use painters blue tape to mask off anything you don't want to get stray wax on. Also tape body seams , ex. tape where the hood meets the fender covering the gap so is to not "burn" the edges. If you plan to use a electric buffer.

Davidson, use something called Nevr Dull on the headlights. It is actually a metal polish, but it does wonders on headlights. Second, there is a product out there called Forever Black which is actually a black dye, not some sort of wax. It does an awesome job on black trim.

I like mother's products a lot. I agree with the back to black, and for the yellowing use mother's aluminum/mag polish. Worked awsome on my old yellowed headlights.

...don't let me confuse you, back to black isn't a wax...the wax is what you can use to clear up the nasty headlights
