So I didn't take before pics but they really were this bad, minus the bird poop
The pic is older but same car.
So after 8 years salt & cinder land this is what you get.
I used this only because the 3M one wasn't available. Mother's product also didn't look like it do the job.
It doesn't really have sand paper, those pads use some type of water soluble abrasive compound. To me it looked a lot like 3M's rubbing/polishing compound.
Obviously a buffer wheel on a drill to finish it off with some protectant. Again it looked like carnuba wax on application.
All in all I give it a 8 outa 10 only because I think sand paper might have gotten some of the deeper scratches and pitting from highway driving out. I can finally see better at night though now!
That haze at the bottom at first I thought was inside the light, it isn't. It seems to be deep pitting from salt & cinder that only massive sand paper application could remove. I am not that OCD about it so it will be fine and is a 200% improvement on what I had prior. I might just buy the new glass lense lights when are tax check clears. $225 for eurospec beams & fogs with leveling motors is a [censored] of a deal anyways although I might just pony up for the retro HID kit since it is another $100, Bi-Xenon projectors and all.
