Default A quick fix for Yellow Headlights...

I just got the mothers powerball and gave it a quick whirl with some rubbing compound... did a pretty decent job on my headlights.

When I bought my car, I first used Turtle Wax Rubbing compound. No need for wetsanding in my case.

Then I used the 3 step MgGuire's thing:

step 1- cleaner
step 2- polish
step 3- carnuba wax

They look brand spankin new
