Groovy, my car decided it was time to start the LIM leak, so i have to put off the replacement of the wheel hubs and sterio system untill i get that fixed..
at least my headlights are shiney now lol
And for some reason, i looked at the front of my car today and noticed the passenger side headlight is sitting farther down than my driver side.. the entire piece that holds the headlight assembly on the car is cracked in between the pins you pull up to remove the lights.. never really noticed that before now..

I ended up buying that 10 minute optical stuff, just put it on a drill and wet sand it, it did the trick Ill post a pic later on.

1000 and 2000 are used for auto body finishing, its hardcore fine grit, but what I used, go to walmart and get a thing called 15 minute optical len cleaner, hook it up to ur drill and wet sand it, it works wonders. and hella a lot easier than sanding it by hand.

Sat ... I think you are getting the grits confused.
The higher the number the finer the grit. And for anyone that doesn't wanna go thru the hassle of using sandpaper and all that nonsense ... just go buy some Never-Dull and that will take the color out of the lenses, although it will not remove the Haze/Fogginess.

ok so i was able to find 2000 grit and some polish (its called metal polish but it works on plastic to) and i got them done, theres a decent amount of difference but i think i needed to start at a lower grit then finish it with 2000 as i used 2000 the whole way through but im sure i could have gotten a better result if the grit i used to start was lower. oh well, ill post pics later
