    Headlight Cleaning

    Anyone else have yellow or faded headlights? I've seen cleaners on e-bay, but I'm just wondering what you guys use to get them clear again...I really don't want to spend $60 per side for new lights from a wrecker.

        Okay...it might be $10 CAD (about $7 USD) but PlastX from Maguiars WORKS!!!

        I tried it on my headlights and took at least 5 years off of them!

        I will do another round on them and then send pics...didn't get before pics but you all know what the old yellows look like...

              yeah lets see some pics, i've been using nail polish remover on my headlights, the acetone takes the yellow right off and they stay clean for a few months, but then i gotta do it all over again.

                  a few coats of clear after you clean will help a lot, i cleaned and clearcoated mine about 6 months ago and it's still clear. after you clear coat it, it may seem a lil hazy but wait a few days and buff it out and then it will look great!
