RE: headlight oxidation

i think you can take the headlight apart and get inside it and clean it out. But if its yellow it might be beyond really cleaning. I would say the best thing is to just buy new headlights. TO take them apart i believe you need to heat it up, and a bunch of other ****. So the easy way is to just buy new ones.

RE: headlight oxidation

yea rinse or wash the light off then put the blue flitz paste on it, then buff it off with the power ball, after that if you want it to look like new, put the WAXX stuff on it and let it haze, then buff that off with the ball
