an encounter with a deer.

I can't see anything unique about the process that would make theirs last
longer. No matter who is doing it, they're just polishing the plastic to
remove the hazing. The big problem is that over time it gets so far into
the plastic that polishing the surface won't completely remove it.
According to
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3327436/Headlight_Restoration_Availabl
they use some kind of UV coating, but it still takes them 60-90 minutes.
Doesn't take a lot of people remembering to come back at that time
commitment.
I have glass lights in the 300D, and I'm just marking time on the van.
Maybe I will try it on the SDL - probably should get it running first
though. :)
Best,
Tim
