Got to try this stuff out. I didn't take pictures because it wasn't really worth it.
I was working with a 92 Ford Tempo with leaky headlights. There's water and oxidation BEHIND the headlights, but the front definitely is improved.
Process
600 Grit wet
2000 Grit wet
#85 on Wool <- speed 3 to test, then speed 5 with better results
Plast-x on Polishing pad
Collinite 845
Overall, major improvement. They still need work. Next weekend I may pull them apart, clean them out, do the inside of the lens and re-seal. I'll post pictures then. Theres a definite improvement in the way they feel (smooth like freshly clayed.)
Edit: #85 by hand did wonders on a small spot on her bumper. I foresee a full detail coming up.. Taking it from "Lobster Bisque" color to "Veloute" (She's in chef school... Sorry)

I actually had to ask her a few times if I could do it. (She already let me/helped me wash my truck Saturday.) I took her to a movie to make up for it.
