Cool

its the sun and the uv rays that turn the headlights a yellowish color...if you just start waxing them from the start and keep em always waxed then they wont have that problem and lose the shine and get that yellow color

Use these things with EXTREME CAUTION! They can hold on to tiny grit and grime and thus, all you're going to do is drag that grit and grime continuously in a high RPM fashion around on your wheel thus introducing lots of micro-scratches and such...

I'm not saying that they can't be used successfully but, user beware... they can cause a plethora of problems... FYI!

Doh! I remember seeing those, but I couldn't remember the name who made them. I'd say whatever your polishing with them, make sure the surface is squeeky clean before you go to town on it. And I'd clean the powerball after every use. I'm going to snag one of those and see if they work.

Harsh chemicals from a car wash will also do that. Many car washes will use a high alkaline chemical to remove the bugs. If you let is sit too long it will eventually yellow the lights. It won't necessarily cause it, but it seems to hurry the aging process along.

wow! its been a long time! It took only 3 days last time I bought off her.

(a little advice though, if you leave her negative feedback, she will leave negitive feedback to you as well saying "Fraud, got harassed, non-paying ebayer, avoid like plaque even if you took long to ship, she will go crazy and say that no matter what! thats what she did to me and everyoen else who left negative to her, take a look at them.

OK, I finally tried it.



It didnt get them 100% clear, but it did help quite a bit.


My head lights were clear, but getting a yellowish hue to them. I bet if you where getting that yellowish cloudy crap going on it would have made a world of difference.

I cant say it will help every one, but it did make an improvement. Im sure it will at least keep me from having to replace them any time soon. For $8.00 It was worth it.


It comes in 3 bottles.

Bottle A: is some kind of heavy duty cleaning fluid.

Bottle B: is a compound with grit in it { I beleive thats what does the real work.} you just rub it in, the grit must grind away the stained outer layer.

Bottle C: is a greenish liquid that is an awefully lot like turtle wax.

I will try to post before and after pictures tomarrow if I have time.

They're a Power Seller, eBay could care less.

You should check out their "about us" where they basically threaten to sue anyone who tries to sell a competing product, claims all their negs are from competitors, and that they're about to blow the lid off some dark conspiracy against them.

Selling facial peels and headlight cleaner, hmmmm

LOL I did warn you about her though! She did that crap to me though and left me negative after I told her the product didn't work to well for me. She said I lied, harassed her, Fraud, and did not pay for item and that people should avoid me like plauge..... She is crazy (literally)
