Headlight Cleaning

Post by Bochek »

Ok so working on the car today, got the front window out, replacements comming monday... was working on some paint scratches, decided to try some of the pollising compound on the headlights.

Might i say FREAKIN AWSXOME.

Check it out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2214141/5

Let me know what you think.

Good job, but we all do that and about twice per year to keep them looking good.

Nice work Adam. Amazing what a little eldow grease will do. A coat of polish and wax when you're done will minimize how fast they will glaze over again.
