Default Headlights Clean!

We have a local guy here who pressure washes and buffs headlights, it's a little steep $75 per, but can't argue with the results....I was going to buy new lights mine were so yellow....

Very simple and easy to do, it's amazing that people would be willing to pay so much to have it done. I've been doing it on the side at flea markets, etc for the past 3 years or so. I'd charge $50 per car, $60 per SUV and go home VERY paid at the end of the weekend. I use a Porter Cable buffer to do it. Now that I'm recently retired, I'll be doing it quite a bit!
