It looks great! Those headlights look like they could use some polishing.

Can be tough. Just polished the headlights on my buddies mustang. They were terribly oxidized (like every mustang). I had to remove them, 600grit, 1500grit, 3000grit, scratch-x. Now you can see through them. Oxidized lexan is a *****.

Too much time and effort for a customer car for something they probably wouldn't even notice being blinded by the reflections off the paint

To be honest he didn't even asked me to do something with them

erstklassige! [first-class] The owner can get new headlight lenses. He should be thrilled at the quality of that finish.

Re: Mercedes E200 Compressor-many Many Pics

Great job. I'm surprised at the amount of correction you were able to achieve.

Is it a 2001 car?
