I decided to post this up because i have been doing alot of these headlight Restorations but this is the worst.....

The Owner (My Dad) DD's this Grand Marquis. Because of his job, he drives ALOT. The Car currently has 225,XXX Miles on the clock lol

My dad never lets be detail the car because it gets beat in Los Angeles on a daily Basis..... But he was having problems seeing at night because the headlights were all clouded over. He was driving from LA to San Fran. this weekend so he hired me on to fix his lights.

Nice! I can imagine it's like driving with headlight covers. Great turn 'round!

Did you seal them with any permanent UV coating? The headlights that I had to wetsand the past couple years kept oxidziing really fast (3-4 momths) until this year when I started applying a marine ureathane over the polished headlight instead of just applying a sealant.
