a fix for yellow/oxidized/milky lights

if anyone has a older vehicle with ugly headlights, i have come up with a process which brings them back to brand new. if anyone would like me to do it for them, ill do it for 20bucks (materials were expensive)

pethetic.. just like saying "dont use dishwashing soap on your car" someone who uses toothpaste really doesnt give a shit about their truck. and i am positive, that it will come back ALOT sooner then mine will. how long does it take headlights to look like ass? 3-4 years? thats how long mine will last.. his.... 6months-year at the most.

$1.25 x what, twice, three times even over the life of the vehicle compared to your $20...do the math...I'll pocket the change.

So why don't you share your "secret" with the forum? I thought that was the idea, instead of trying to squeeze the forum for $20/per.

Instead of trying to make a buck off of other TN members, why don't you just share this genius idea that you "came up with" and let people do it for themselves?

exactly.

This reminds me of the guy selling the cubby hole lock for the bed on Ebay.

BTW- what is toothpaste? A food-grade polish with a cleanser and a minty aroma desined to "gently" clean the enamel onyour choppers, right? Hmmm....

I used to do that in college for a few extra bux. Wetsand with a squirt bottle at 600, 1000, 1500, then 2000. Then I used Meguiars plastic polish. It was cheap and I only charged 10 bux. Always turned out pro in my opinion.
