Question got rid of my foggy lights

well hello everyone this is my 1st post on this site.i was reading about your foggy light problem and decided to give it ago on my 99dodge ram. im in ireland and is 12.30 in the morning so i pulled the truck up close to my house so i could see in the dark.anyhow i used some product that is for taking out small scratches on bodywork,its just a light cutting compound, i did the main lights and the 2 spot lights under bumper and bloody hell it fu''''ing worked.took me about 20min but they are cristal clear .cheers everyone.

a small problem im having with my truck steering is when im driving along i keep having to correct the steering wheel to keep the truck going straight and it tends to vary from a flick of the steering wheel left, to sometimes a right flick to keep it in a straight line.i had the wheel alignment chked and garage used the laser align on it and said it was ok...any suggestions i would appreciate...thanks

That's not necessarily true. depending on what type of headlights you have they can cost considerable more that $100 bucks.
In addition, the new ones will eventually begin to fog also.
Buying new one each time the lens begins to fog can get to be extremely expensive.
Sanding or abrasive cleaning using body shop techniques for painted surfaces is counter productive.
Most of us know about sanding and polishing, the problem is the after effects.
Today the options include deoxidizers which have benefits the sanding and polishing lacks.
The two most beneficial of are its ability to remove foggy acrylic oxidation instantly, without adding brasive damage to the headlight lens surface, which includes the UV layer.
