    Its a VERY light abrasive compound, like I said my two pennies. Works every time for me!

    Thanks for the suggestions! On the lights, are those just the fixtures or is that the plastic that covers them too?

    I use it on the outside. From the pics it didn't look like you had any condensation behind inside the lens, and in my experience the oxidization only occurs on the front of the lens.

    Are those lights different from doing a BHLM?

    I didn't want to bake my old lights, so I did the BHLM the easy way plus got new lenses in the process. I have never been happy with the longevity of the headlight restoration process for the amount of work needed.

    On the wherls I dropped $789 w lugs shipped and just unde $750 w a rebate for the new tires. I purchased the wheels and then 2 or 3 months later got the tires.

    If you are talking the weathertech floor mats for $168 I highly recommend them. They are one of my 1st upgrades on any vehicle.

    Oh no i meant headlights!

    Hmm debating it. They seem so practical that it'd be dumb not to do it

    Does this include the plastic cover over the headlights or no? Could i take the car somewhere to have this done?
