| NO LONGER IN BUSINESSDIY Tutorial found here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]If you do not wish to do it yourself, then you can contact me, price still stands. EXTERIOR LENS POLISHINGStarting price for FI members would be $25Btw, i am MOBILE, so i can come to you.This is not the simple wet sand, then apply rubbing compound on and admire the new look. My method (i have used on my own personal headlights) and many others, has lasted LONGER than the traditional rubbing compound trick, and looks much smoother and newer. Here is the latest vehicle that i did with before and after: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]**NOTE**that headlight was previously been restored with rubbing compound, and over the years, it took its toll and turned blurry and yellow again. More eye candy: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Contact info would have to be through PM or text: 559-two8six-seven0seven7

I dont think clear coat would stick after the polish is applied, lol. But i have done my sister's Acura MDX about 6 months ago, and its still clear as when i first did them. - b2ov wrote:

| I've always used wax on my headlights, after restoring. So far, no yellowing or drying out.
I may be calling you up, Dao. My wrx needs work done, but I don't have the time. Assuming you need them out of the car? | |

All plastic, as long as its hard plastic, yes. If i had taken pictures, i could've showed you how my OEM window visors looked when i gave them a polish, lol. - leemo559 wrote:

Your headlights are plastic? Thought they were glass, lol If i have time, i can do a few plastic pieces over the weekend and post up before and after photos. Off topic Im now hanging on to a complete set of projectors (minus HID ballasts) since the bug eye i was supposed to do is not available this weekend. | |
