headlight cleaning
if you look at most cars with clear corners you'll see that they're alot cleaner and clearer than the headlights that they're beside. my 11 year old headlights look like crap nezt to my new corners, i was wondering if there's any way of cleaning the inside of the headlight without having to take apart the headlights.

haven't tried it yet, still too lazy
1. 3M 1000 grit sand paper.
2. any type of car polish.
3. any type of car wax.
4. a tupper-ware bowl filled w/ water ( if you know about wet-sanding ... u see where im going w/ this)
Procedure:
1. Remove you headlights off the car .... Yes we know takn' off the bumper is every stoners nightmare!
2. Fold you 3M and wet it in the tupper-ware bowl and start sanding your headlights in a circular motion for atleast 10-15 min. on each light. Feel free to wet the sand paper time 2 time.
3. Assuming you're done w/ all the lights you will notice that all your headlights look like ****. Don't worry you have just done the 1st step.
4. Now time for the polish. You want to use the polish 1st since it is somewhat abrasive. Polish each light for about 5 min. each.
5. Assuming you are done polishing all the lights, time to wax. It is the same process as the polish.
