#95250, "keeps comming back like herpes..."


          

My headlights keep blurring. Every two weeks I go out and buff them. They look nice for about a week or so, and then bam they are ugly again. Short of buying new headlights anyone got any suggestions?

Ya, what kind of compound and buff pad are you using? Are you buffing by hand or by a electric buffer?

5 min with a $30 sears buffer and some turtle wax lasted me about 2 months. I have to deal with hawaii weather lots of sun emoji my roof started to oxidize(SP) six months after I shipped it here, and I paid for the extra protective coat too.

Talon or Eclipse? Talons had no clear on the roof... Maybe mine didn't because when the car was buffed the pad turned black.
