I see. Thanks Emoshun.

mm, so, actually when we retro fit headlamps, we change the crystal hat with the projector lenses with some reflector shield, is it work like that? Could anyone explain what is the retro fit?

thx

Do anyone else's lights look worse than when they started with the first method with the scratch X and doing it by hand? I did it on a fog and it did nothing then I did it on the like inner light next to the head lights and it's smooth as anything but like milked out looking now? I washed it like 50 times with water and that one still looks awful? I'm thinking most of my dirt is on the inside of the lens not the outside too?

TURTLE WAX headlight restore kit. ( it said 5 mins on box ) kinda like 5-10 mins.

For those who are getting results that are worse. You need to use a lot more elbow grease with the polishing. Meguiars original ScratchX is a relatively weak product. I suggest you buy a bottle of Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Meguiars Plastx. And use them after sanding.
