try cleaning them with that kit then wash all the residue&chemo off of them real good and see how long they last. many chemo theropy on these plastic lenses just softens the plastic and fogs it. so clean sand buff clean.see how long it last. |

Wash the the lights and then use tooth paste as a rubing compound. Really cheap and pretty effective. i like to use pronamel. it takes a bit longer than some of the other pastes out there but the grit is finer and leaves no what seems to be no swirl marks. about a minute per headlight on my 98 explorer made a big difference for my night driving! |

I wet sand the headlights with 800 grit sandpaper to get all the yellowed plastic off, then I use a good two part automotive grade clearcoat (lasts 5-7 years vs the regular clear paint that starts to yellow in a few months). Lay down a light base coat & let it dry (some plastic will react with the paint if laid down too thick), then coat a few more times until the clear coat fills in the scratches & leaves a smooth/clear surface. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Yup, a good friend of mine did that too. He got lucky, in that he was able to recover his lap top back to Win 8, as he did it within the 30 day window. After 30 days you're screwed. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

You can remove it, I know because I did. Don't remember how off the top of my head but do a Google. Went back to my windows 7 and much happier. Now, must figure out how to get rid of that damn upgrade to windows 10 pop up. |

If she's smokin' hot, put her name on the new account that has $50 in it, not the swiss account with millions. |

Only one I've ever known of is the Coronado Bridge in San Diego. The only reason I know is that I have driven it and the booths are closed and empty. |
