Default Headlight ****! (WS)

From cloudy and dull...








To clear and brilliant...









I got tired of the cloudy lens and did not have the money to spend on a kit.
What i did have was some toothpaste, and a crate of care car products i forgot about after i used my tooth past. Finally used some liquid rubbing compound, a liquid plastic cleaner and some wax.

HID's are 6,000k

Not just waxed,
first i used some toothpaste, It helped a lot. I then remembered i had some old car care supplies which in turn i had some liquid rubbing compound which was around 3200 grit, some plastic cleaner then to finish it off i added some wax since it has UV blockers and to help dirt not to stick.

Whats the "bake" way?
