I will update my post when I do it right, with progress pics, and finished. To get NEW looking lights if they look really bad now: Get some different types of sand paper (~800grit, 1000 grit, 1500 grit) Wetsand the lens 3-5 times with each grit(pending how ocd/anal you are) Rub it out with some rubbing compound a couple times Rattle can it 2-3 times with gloss clearcoat Wax it Done.

If that is your cup of tea, fine but I can't blow $80 on something that I can do for free, I just can't justify it. If you want to persuade me to think your way, paypal $80 to darkandroid1234@gmail.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yea but no matter how much you do that, it'll never look as good new. While it makes a big difference I cant sit there and slave over somethign that to me still looks like dog poopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
