I've got to return a pair of pants to Dillards, so I had planned on stopping by.

I might go. I'm just finishing up my headlights after a few days, and way too many hours of cleaning with plastX. And they look better, but still not great unfortunately. They are pretty pitted. But anyway, I gotta show someone who cares, so if I come hopefully I'll find someone lol

Plastix is temporary at best and it does nothing for pits. Get the 3m kit for real magic.

Cory said the detail guys down at Nissan have a good system for headlights and the tools and experience to do it right. Might want to go see Daryl...

(Please note, I do not think this is a violation of the "hookup rule" as I have used Daryl before personally to detail my cars and while Cory facilitated the introductions, my transaction was directly with Daryl.)

Will need for cleaning headlights:

1000 grit wet/dry sand paper
Squirt bottle
3M plastic cleaner
3M plastic polish
Buffer
Towels

Start by spraying headlights with water and sanding them down
Do this lil there pretty much white and hazy

Now wipe clean of any plastic residue
Grab buffer and apply plastic cleaner
Buff carefully as you can burn the lense and that's not good
Now you should see it clearing. Keep buffing and adding cleaner to achieve clearness desired
Plastic Polish and buff carefully to achieve the clearness and smoothness you want

When done look at them and if not satisfied then call someone with experience haha jk

I am a professional detailer and did my work at Sonora Subaru

I'm planning on doing the 3M kit for the pitting, but they didn't have it at Kragen, and it was something I did on a whim. The plastX cleaned up the film that magically appeared inside my lenses somehow, and now they look great, except for the pitting you see up close. All in all, I'm happy with it, and wouldn't have sanded the inside of the lens anyway.

Dave, if I ever get motivated to do it again with the 3M kit, maybe you could help?

Dean, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think I wanna pay for professional service on them, I'm actually pretty happy with them after seeing them in the daylight today.

Joel, will you be back in town for the meet?
