Thumbs up washed and buff with polish and plastx 9-13-06
well i didnt have much time today but i wanted to get this done at least. I took headlights apart and cleaned the inside and then i reput them back together using regular silicone also did a little degreasing in the engine bay and cleaned what i could

after


so far it is alot cleaner then before and im happy but it will look even better after it gets buff.

i will say its a vast improvement and im sure once you get time to spend a good day on them you will make them that much better. Im digging the sport max wheels if thats what you have. Either way the car looks good all around, keep it up!

Nice job, they look much more clear than before. Exactly how do you buff them?
