I thought some of the fog was on the inside... How clear are your lights now? Have you got a before and after picture?

Matt they are talking about makeing those yellow headlights back to clear. I have used Meguiers plactic cleaner and then used some fine steelwool to get the surface nice and smooth then take metal polish and finsh them to a nice clear look. Then just to give them that new look I spray on some Tire Wet. I know it is alot more work but they were basiclly perfect when I was done. I haven't sold much of that plastiX at work but we have it. Now I know of a good reason to sell it. Also we sell and plastic refinishing kit from 3m lots of the body shops use that to do the headlights. A couple tired my way and said for the money you can't beat it.

I have tried all that stuff you guys mentioned,and you know what?It works at first,but doesn't last.Mother Nature didn't just yellow the surface,it goes all the way through,even if you polish both sides,it's still yellow in the middle.New lights are the way to go if you want a permanent fix.
