To make a long story short, I ended up scratching the hell out of my headlights this past weekend. Do any of you guys have any tips on how to get them out? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :mrgreen:

i dont know who that guy is, but thats what i charge. polycarbonate has a 5-7 mil thick layer that serves as uv protection. this layer is the source of the problem with headlight discoloration/oxidizing and should be removed if the headlights are dull or faded. i plan on sanding the headlights down to 400 grit and then bringing them back up to a full shine, including sealing them with klasse sealant and then a coat of wax for added protection. needless to say, i take my time to do things right to ensure a successful job and a satisfied customer. :)
