Ahhh............I bought the damn kit last night and spent an hour trying to follow the fn D's and now it looks worse.
I went on line and ordered a new set...........probably will end up divorced too.

I dont care..........Im not driving around with headlights that look 15 years old.

OK......went back and polished again with attachment for the drill and then buffed out with drill...............
STILL looks like ****!!!!
What a rip...........I guess if you are pseudo-pro with this kind of stuff, its worth a try but to the regular guy, I'd suggest just saving up for new headlights.

What a waste of my time!!!!!!!!
