comes with sandpaper (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500), cloth, rubber gloves, polishing compound, and instructions:

here's the good headlight:

and here's the bad one:

here's after (it started snowing, i'll take a better pic some other day):

close up:

it is quite a bit better, but still not like the other one

here is a scan of the instructions (big image, so it's readable):

i basically just did exactly as it says to do.

cleaned the headlight
soaked the sandpaper
started with 1000 grit (i had no deep scratches, but A LOT of buildup)
side to side, then up and down for the next one, etc.
then circular with the polish
i probably did at least half a dozen runs with the polish and used nearly the whole bottle
a drill with polisher would have helped a ton for the last step(i have one but couldn't find it)
make sure to clean the headlight between each grit level and between each application of the polish

overall it was quite a bit of work, but does look a lot better than before.

also, the reflective area inside this headlight is damaged
(lost much of its luster due to previously having dirt inside the headlight),
so even if the cover was perfectly clear it wouldn't look at shiny as the other one.

On a side note, I've also read of others using plastic polish to remove the haze.

38+ Vouches

Meguiars PlastX works really well with a low grit wet-sand paper. I didn't know this kit existed, but it looks very good.

there's a protective coating on the surface, sanding it down or using aggressive buffing compound on the coating will pretty much put it out of service.

with the coating you will get the white haze after a while, most people put wax on it to keep it glossy for few months

added to the original post, including the actual instructions the kit comes with.

here's where i got the idea, they used a 3M cleaner/polish made for plastics.

I think it looks ALOT better than it did before and I'm loving the painted stocks... I'm going to attempt that when it warms up... not diggin my Ebay projectors... but I like them better than fogged up headlights so let me know if they start foggin up when it warms up.

thanks, it does look much better than before (especially in person).

So simple green AND elbow grease? In that order? Is it really necessary to use both?

Vouches: GreenVtecDC2

Before:

During:(did the outside lens)

After:

Product used:

$4.00-$5.00 at any parts store/Walmart. 5-10 mins with this and a rag + a lil elbow grease can save you a good bit of $$$.

Enj0y!
