Default tip for de-yellowing your headlights

Hey guys, this doesn't really have to do with anything but i'de thought I'de put it up in case someone was in need. I recently failed inspection for yellowed headlights and instead of paying for new ones I thought I'de try to clean mine up alittle. I saw on here a few things likes scrubbing bubbles and bleach, but after trying a few I realized what really worked. You guys said it was all heavy oxidation on the heads that turn them yellow so I thought to myself, what removes oxidation and for that matter, almost everything. POLISHING COMPOUND! I put a little bit on a shop rag and didn't even have to scrub that much, it just came right off and made my headlights look 7 years younger. I wish i had some pics for you but i lack a digital camera. So if your headlights are turning yellow and you want to get them back, go grab some polishing compound, it only takes about 5 mins. Hope this helps someone...



P.S. Sorry for any spelling/grammar errors, I'm not totally sober. But this does still work.
