Default Aluminum polish on headlights
I just used meguiers aluminum polish on my yellow ass headlights and just wanted to say, damn. It took some rubbing but all the yellow is gone. For all of you out there with ugly head lights do it, cost like $4, and about 20 minutes.

I heard toothpaste works wonders too.

Let me go try it on my moms van. Her headlights look worse than any I have ever seen.

what do you mean? like to clean out the residue inside the headlights or are you polishing off actual coloring?
