I can post pics if you guys would like.

By looking at you pictures I can tell that the silicon based clear coat on you headlights is in bad condition, there are many kits available on the market but most of them will not give the proper results and durability, Since you are not close where I live think my services are too far from you, what I can advice is find a reputable Headlight restoration service or if you want to DIY try the 3M restoration kit, I have never tried it since I have professional tools to get the job done but I’ve heard that is better than the other ones.

This is the website of my headlight restoration business www.headlightexpert.com for anyone that may need it in south Florida I’m here to help!

I have used Meguiars but I find that I had to use it at least once a month. I did the wet sanding on lights with 1500 grit, it took about 45 min to an hour for each light and then used the Meguiars on it, then used a spray on wax and it has been fine since.

use GLOSSYLITE.....it's the best easy to use in the market right now and effective. http://www.smartwax-usa.com/ProductD...ductCode=50102

i used the Meguiars Headlight Restoration Kit and it worked great!! cleaned the lens really well. i started off by hand and then switched to a drill, which worked a lot faster.

Many of the kits out there provide some temporary solution in short time the fade returns, the meguiars kit works fine when the UV protection still in good shape, once is cracked the only fix is resurfacing the lens.

This is how they look after doing a nice restoration
