Wet sanding seems to be the normal way people redo them. Whenever I see headlight restoration, its all wet sanding. I dunno.

I used this headlight lens restorations kit,
$7.99 at autozone
Comes with these 3 pads, a lubricant and clarifying compound.
The headlights were my friends old ones I got from him because
he gave up on them and bought new ones.
It doesn't take out very deep pitting, but it removes alot of scratches, minor pitting, yellowing etc...

i'm not sure if it can actually be concidered a race if neither car is capable of breaking the speed limit between lights. :dunno:

We wont be breaking speed limits we'll be going just about the speed of light,
I mean lets be honest here we're talking about integras (well pretty much all hondas) not subarus....
