    Looks good pirex, I agree no need to replace they look much better. I enjoy polishing out head lights, it's surprising the difference that's made on them and it's really not that difficult to do either :thumb:

    Nice turn around buddy :cheerl:

    Nice Job Pirex..did come out nice..

    Little trick ...I use Mother Power metal polish for head lights now...eliminates the sanding just about...the polish has a cleaner and a fine grit..so they come out crystal clear...if need a bit more polishing after...I use a finish polish like Menz PO85RD ..but this process has just about eliminated sanding...

    I use a 4" white CSS pad with mothers and a Blue one with PO85Rd
