How-to: Renew JDM 1piece headlights

Ok so I really got tired of my headlights looking like **** so I printed out the how to from the teg tips and went out and got the materials. 27 dollars and a bunch of elbow grease later and I'm pretty god damn happy. In the teg tip it says to get Mequiers clear plastic polish, and Mequiers clear plastic cleaner. Well I couldn't find them seperate, but I did find this stuff called Mequiers PlastX clear plasic polish and cleaner in one. I'll try to get better pics tomorrw, it got dark out while I was doing it.

Heres the pics:



Heres how they used to look:



And with the lights on how it used to look:



Then the process:

This was after just sanding



And then after Polish



And then renewed vs. gross yellow



Heres the second one all done



and here it is again



And then heres the car all done and put back together



And with the lights on after



After all said and done I couldn't be more happy. I didn't expect them to come out this good, but they did. I can acutally see through them, before they were just really really dull, now they look brand new. Best tip ever!

Yeah... They look great and everything. I did that for my buddies 95-96 Ford Escort. Looked that good and *Brand New for about a month. So all that damn time & his money I spent on the products could have gone towards new headlights. PM me later on to tell me how long they last. You might want to buff them once a week if you start to see haze. They look great though.
