Angry Headlights

Ok, i know this has been gone over 10000X but i just cant seem to find a solution... ok, my Drive side headlight is fogged... and its on the outside of the lense... its like wax or something on it... i've tried lighter fluid, nail polish Remover, rubbing compound, all kinds of chemicals,the only thing i havent tried is that "flitz-it" crap they advertise during power block on spike. My question is, WHAT WORKS!!!! and i dont trust myself to do the "wet sand Trick" the fogged headlight just really Kills the look of my car, so...any Sugestions?

Re: Headlights

BUFFING COMPOUND I used it and it worked pretty good. If you try that flitz let me know because I've been wondering how well it actuall works

Re: Headlights

Re: Headlights

I didnt spend enough time for them to look like new, just enough to get the gay yellow off

Re: Headlights

"Turbo cut" from Wizards and a variable-speed buffer. Thats what I used. They came out like brand new.

Re: Headlights

thanks, I'll have to PM scotte and see what he says... then if he says something along the lines of high speed buffing... its going down... Problem is, last time, on my '95 GS, i tried to clean off the headlight... and ended up melting the plastic lense... causing it to warp... and i really REALLY dont want that on the '99 thats why i'm asking around... thanks guys!
