    Great job! Would you mind elaborating on what you did with those headlights? I've been struggling with mine recently. I've tried about a dozen different combinations of pad and polish, and can't get them to be quite perfect.

    Many thanks!

    For the headlights I use the same combo, dark red Megs pad with #95, 2 hits and yellow Megs pad with #205 1 hit.

    Maybe you have to sand the headlights if they are bad.

    Thanks!
