Hey guys... need some help here. I've got a 96 Civic EX, and maybe some of you have this same problem...
The headlight covers are really, REALLY dull. Anybody know of a way to get them back to looking new, like, really clear and bright. I've used plastic cleaner, and rubbing compound, after a recommendation from a shop... do these really work? I've seen no big improvement, maybe I'm not patient enough.
Hope you guys have some tips!

now why didn't i think of the buffer

i'll be breaking it out tomorrow
i thought about just buying new ones and starting over, but then again I went through all of the trouble of clearing them myself, i kinda wanted to take the cheap way out.

nothing wrong with the cheap way if it works.

dont keep it on 1 spot too long...it will melt the plastic and warp it

The buffer works well. I have to use it on the dreeded Mustangs head lights. Did a good job and doesn't cost anything.
