Q: i found a buisness card under the wipers of my 95 full size van.for headlight restoration . they thought i might be a candidate for their services. i searched the web and found that kits are available for home use also. meguars sounds as if their product requires you to sand the front of the headlamp assembly. anybody use anything like this or a service for this my lights are not yellow but they are a little dull not really opaque. barry .

the best stuff is aluminum polish just becareful not to press hard and crack the plastic. barry kwasny wrote i found a buisness card under the wipers of my 95 full size van.for headlight restoration . they thought i might be a candidate for their services. i searched the web and found that kits are available for home use also. meguars sounds as if their product requires you to sand the front of the headlamp assembly. anybody use anything like this or a service for this my lights are not yellow but they are a little dull not really opaque. barry .
