clearing head light haze
i recently aquired a new front end for my integra so i took off the old front end and noticed how hazy my headlights were ... i got to thinking how i could clear them up and this is what i did, and they look brand f'n new ....
1st i sprayed bleach on them and let them sit for 30 seconds then wiped em down to get the dirt off ...
2nd ( for all you Nitro RC people ) i took the Nitro fuel and put it on a rag and started buffing, this stuff is sooo strong it pulled ALLL the yellow haze right out of the lenses, however leaves a small film ...
and lastly, to remove that small film, i used mineral spirits, then wiped them with a dry cloth and it looks like i have brand new headlights, i wish i would have taken a picture...
Just thought this might help some people that want to rid their headlights of the haze w/o using rubbing compound and scratching them.

they haze becouse they are pitted
you just cleaned the pits out
they will haze back up in a month or two.
I used to clean mine every third month or so but man does it make a differance.
