Quick, easy headlight restore -- maybe

Headlights on our cars were looking moderately horrible.

Finally decided to do something.

I bought the "NEW and IMPROVED"


And the Pulsar 10" Car buffer at KMart. The Plastx was $7 and the buffer was 19.

Just spread about a teaspoon full on the foam pad of the buffer, turned it on and buffed one Camry headlight for about 90 seconds.

Wiped it down with a microfiber cloth I got at the dollar store for 25 cents. It looked pretty good.

Did the second Camry headlight and then "rinsed and repeated" with the Prius. For about six minutes of buffing and polishing and a minor amount of Plastx, plus a couple of microfiber towels, all four headlights look great. If I would have doubled my time, they would have probably looked a bit better, but all-in-all very satisfied.

We will see how long it lasts, but from web comments on various forums, it seems I have at least a year of goodness, maybe more. The Plastx supposedly has some sort of additive that helps keep the oxidation from returning. We will see.

Very little time or money spent. Good results. What else can I use a car buffer for....
