I went out to see if I had a little left in a bottle - but I must have thrown the bottle out already. I recently used this on my son's truck, his wife's mustang, and my step son's Taurus. It cleared all of them up like new. We were hoping it would salvage one or two sets, ad some of them were pretty bad, but it saved all of them. Good stuff, but it's not cheap. Good news, good for cleaning up the finish on a car that is fading a little also.

I bought something pretty much exactly like that from Wal-Mart. I'm thinkin I gotta put a buffer on it, when I sanded it I noticed spots all over the light, like the plastic was peeling or something...... No matter how hard I sanded it wouldn't go away, didn't get any worse, but wouldn't go away...

That is what I am afraid of, like I said the wife's car is a 04, so not faded that bad. Mine are like yours, so we will see how it goes. Waiting for a nicer day...

@gdstock: Check the grounds for your lights as well. Looks like you might have a marginal connection somewhere.

I think I'll just order a new set too, $82 for a complete new pair is pretty cheap.

I was "huhing" your @gdstock comment on the marginal ground....

The headlight pair with sidemarker is $82, when I bought the truck the passenger one was/is cracked and today I noticed it's starting to get wet on the inside, figure it just be better to spend the extra $10 for a complete new set...

Ah, my side markers are still in good shape.... so, I just got the headlights. Mine are well beyond just needing a simple cleaning. One lens is mostly clear tape at this point, and both of them are so yellow, you would think they were filled with ****.

Looking forward to being able to actually see where I am going at night...... That should be fairly novel.
