... I remember now that I actually did 2 complete processes with the plastX- ie rub some on, take it off with a clean cloth and REPEAT to get the above result.
I must admit, I also did it twice - once before I washed it and once again after I waxed it.
Now only time will tell how long the effect lasts... I'm hoping at least as long as the wax.
Edit: I just went out to take some night pics.. I noticed I can still see smudge like soiling through the plastic, not as bad as before, but it's still there (inside perhaps). But glad you can't see it during the day none the less.

Before Chadza's advice, I went asking for new and 2nd hand prices...
New from Subaru: $554.31 EACH!!!! ($1108.62 pair)
2nd hand: $250.00 each (any Liberty from 99-01 will have the same headlights).
So $25 for a bottle of PlastX is 2.25% of replacing new, or 5% of replacing 2nd hand. Well worth the investment.
Subaru also told me Floor Mats from a MY04 Liberty would be a "good fit" for my car, I don't know if that means they WILL fit or they will ALMOST fit? Regardless, they quoted me $140.65 for the set (ex-Sydney).

Last time I had a pressure pack made up at my local paint shop, it was about $20-30.Ahh ok. Thanks.

Worth it, in two ways.
More cash in your pocket.
Satisfaction you've done it yourself.
Don't forget a little prep work with some sand paper. bit of 1000 or 1200 grit to get it up to spec.
