So today I tackled the haze on my headlights using Lex's tutorial from the stangnet forums.

The Advance didn't have 1500 grit sandpaper, so I used 600, 1000 and 2000 grit, then the polishing compound and then the PlastX.

OH MY GOD.
It's 99% better.

After:




Wet sanding is this girl's new best friend.

I had some condensation trapped in the driver's side light, so I spent a good 10 minutes with the hair dryer and a couple cotton swabs to try and get that out. I got most of it. I'm hoping that the next time I'm running the lights that'll get rid of the rest.

I was seriously jumping up and down after I got done. Those lights really bugged me, and now I saved myself $150.




I'm so looking forward to being able to see at night now.

Hey quick question.. can I get the link to the tutorial? I tried looking on StangNet but I can't find the search button lol or the post for it. I need to do this pretty bad. Thanks

for anyone else who does this be sure to count your strokes or else youll end up with one brighter than the other[&:].

I did this to my hatchback when I first got it, did miracles.

The more I look at my work, the more I can see a few places where I could have sanded a *little* better, but I'm still incredibly satisfied with the results.
Best of all, I finally got all the condensation out of the driver's side light! Whee!

I just want to sit out on my patio and look at the pretty shinyness now. Not that I didn't before....
