My headlight lens have got a beige film on them and it has decreased my headlight coverage at night. Is the a product or a way to make these lens covers clear again?
Supposedly it's enough to do 4 sets of headlights.
My '93 tbird sure could use it.
My friends have improved theirs with rubbing / polishing compound and a buffer, but that really should be done with the lights out of the vehicle... which can take some time. This method looks like you just apply a couple different chemicals with lights in place.
I'd be interested to hear someone's 1st hand experience with this stuff.

From what I remember, I used the brown stuff on it and it worked very well. I didn't take my lights off, since the wheels are pretty portable. It didn't come out as clean as a new light, but it made a huge difference. My wife noticed a difference first time she rode with me.
I also let my buddy use the kit on his Plymouth minivan and was just estactic with the results. Used all of my compound (lights on his were really bad), but bought me a new kit.
I'm going to try the white stuff on my Tymar intake (plain jane with no polish or anything. I used the other compounds and those made a nice difference. They gave it a nice shine and can see my reflection.
Hope that helps.

Jazz, with a palm orbital sander, 100 grit to 220, the same polishing kit you have for a bench grinder and many, many hours of working on the aluminized piece, (sucker is hard as hades), a coat of clear coating to finish, (keeps rust spots from coming thu). I turned my tymar tube from: THIS to: THIS Blow the pic up to full size, it shows the tube a little better.... Good luck with it.....
I got a bottle of polish for headlights at advance auto. Wet sanded lenses with 1500 grit paper followed by polish and hand buff. The stuff worked GREAT! Total cost was about 15 bucks and 15 minutes of time.
Good luck
Dave
