Default clean headlights

ok, so i bought a kit to clean the yellow off my headlights yesterday, and well it worked really well, except they still arn't clean and kinda foggy. I used 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit, then 2500 grit, wet sand paper and a plastic cleaner thingy that came with the pack.

but still not 100% better more like 92.15%

help to clean them up just a little more

Might have some crap on the inside. You also might not be able to make it 100% better. You sure you removed all the sanding marks?

I have heard of guys taking bleach to the inside? They pour a little bleach through the lamp hole and wash it around alittle. From what I seen, it took care of the inside!

Do some checking first.......don't take my lame 2 cents!

on americanmuscle they have a document explaining how to de-fog your headlights. something about using cardboard and baking them. check it out, sounds like it could work but ive never done it so dont take my word for it.
good luck
