I bought this stuff @ NAPA for $10,(it was actually on sale for $8.18), I used a electric drill, 5 minutes per side and they came out great.

My lenses were looking a bit smoked over and my vision @ night is getting worse,(no old age comments please), so I figured I would try, check them out!

cleaned

Hope this helps!

Looks good! I always used Meguiars Plastx. Works great also. or you could just get jdm glass headlights

Euro glass lights

JDM are plastic as well

it will only last so long until plastic starts glazing/yellowing again.

True, but even if I have to do every few months, it is worth it, the kit was cheap and comes w/ 6 pads,(1 per light).

Toothpaste and a stiff toothbrush work just as well if not better and it's cheaper... Just my 2 cents

You can try clear coating headlights. Clear coat will protect plastic lense from UV rays in turn keeping them clear for much longer.

or you can take a bit of rim cleaner with uv protection spray it on let it sit for a second wipe it off than with a little trany fluid on a cloth wipe it again and its gets even clearer, thats what me and my buddy tried on mine and it worked really well

i bought that same stuff at autozone for 12 bucks and it worked like a charm - i couldnt believe it! i would totally recommend it - its beats anything i've seen or heard of yet and without all the headache or hard work. - yes i can be lazy.

I took regular old Turtle Wax and a rag, i rubbed it on and worked it around, and it looked pretty good afterwards

My buddy has a car detailing business and he does mine for free but that NAPA stuff looks great. So whats the deal with shooting them with automotive clear coat. Is it a more permenant solution? I have a spare set of headlites so I could just drop them off.
