Headlights on a 99 Grand Am at work.
No step by step on this one yet.
I do a 3 step process with some chemicals I got from my distributor in a kit.
The kit cost a little over $200, so I'm trying to find out what the chemicals are, so I can see if they have them at Lowes or Home Depot cheaper.
And of course...share with everyone. The kit should be able to do 45-60 cars, depending how sloppy you are. LOL
I could have done a better job, but hey...It's not my car...LOL laugh

BEFORE..........


AFTER.......

Does it involve you guys buffing it? Wouldn't a plastic polish and a buffing pad get the same results?

My lenses need cleaned! One is full of condensation and I can't get it out for the life of me! I know this is a common problem... can we open these headlamps up to clean or are they sealed for good?

You can set them in the oven to soften the sealant and pull apart dry it out and reseal or you can take the headlight off the car use a blow dryer to dry out the inside. and put a bead of silicone around the outside to prevent moisture from entering.

Chris,

When you find out the chemicals used, you must let us know because you did a kick a$$ job. thumbsup
