Default I need a place that restores head lights.

My head lights need to be restored badly. They have lots of oxidation/haziness on them. Lots of people reccomend Plastix polish from Meguiars, but I'd rather get it done the right way. (Wetsand, Buff, Compound)

Thanks..

Do it yourself, it takes an hour each at the longest. You really can't screw up unless you don't pay attention to what you're doing and use 100 grit sandpaper on the same one spot the entire time.

You can try using 3m's Plastic Restorer/ Plastic Cleaner & Polish (whatever its called..) FIRST before sanding it down and see how it turns out, I know it made a big difference on my mom's civic headlights before i was about to shave them down a layer.

But if you want them looking almost new, then I'd say shave em down. Find the article online and follow it step by step, it really does work great.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

I know Darryl on here does them. Not sure how much he charges, but it is WAY less than that.
