Default getting rid of that ugly white tint......
what is the best way to get rid of the ugly white tint that older plastic headlights get? they kind of "fog" over and become absolutely disgusting looking. i hear to wet sand the head light and then clear coat them is this true?

mine started to do that after a while so i went and got this cleaning solution for stains on plastic and rubbed the hell out of them one day while i watched tv... eventualy they came out looking brand new... but it might as well be easyer to go buy new ones...
