Default Cloudy headlamps

My head lamps looked aged and cloudy. I figure that I will replace them eventually but for a temp solution I waxed and buffed them and they actually came out pretty good. Check them out. May be a cheap solution for someone else also.

Too bad mine are too far gone that waxing them doesn't even help... I really need some new ones.

Wheel polish does work. I am using it as a temporary solution too..

I just used some Meguiars and a buffer and they cam out nice, not perfect. They are pitted and scratched from driving of course, so they will be replaced. I just hated looking at the ugly things everytime I went in the garage. Plus I like making the C6 jealous by giving the cobra more attention, she is more fun to drive.

If you want to save the money and not buy new ones. You should check out the second link I put up and it will show you how to sand the headlight and take out the pits.

FYI - Get ready for some work if you do that option!
