Cleans Up Nice

After 11 years and 130,000 miles people still ask me if it's new.

Looking good wouldn't hurt to visit a body shop to have them polish down the headlights or you could try a DYI kit.

Wow your lights look great. I hit them with polishing compound last summer and they looked better for a while but then I think they actually got worse. Maybe I'll pick up one of the headlight restoration kits.

thanks! its been garaged its entire life (14 years!) and i'm amazed that they look that way. lol

and when you used the polishing compound, was there something that should have been applied after as like a sealant type of thing to prevent future yellowing?

IMO black is the best color when it's clean.
