By restoration, I meant polishing the semi-opaque surfaces from the
plastic headlight "glass", and them sealing them so that it would stay
clear for some reasonable length of time.
Other "Magic" methods just did not last two weeks before it was obvious
that some cloudiness was back,

Hi, all.
A month or so ago, "The List" answered my query about headlight restoration.
I had previously tried a few of the magical commercial fixes to no
avail. In that they lasted about a month then went cloudy again.
Rusty recommended the Sylvania kit, which I purchased from him and

I wonder what's the easiest/best way to clean the intakes - probably the
old fashioned "messy-by-hand method" using lots of rags and any kind of
cleaner that works.
Anyone have a better method? I'm guess

The Speedee lube place by my house cleaned a bunch of carbon slime out of the

Hi Max,
When you contact the PO about the under engine covers, try to find
