Honda/Stanley Headlights clean up well, I doubt it's the polycarbonate, guess it's just the type of protective coating they use.
^crazy! I havent done my accord's headlights because, thankfully, I have never had a problem with any of them. I say any because I have had like 5 different sets of headlights on my car...lol

With OEM/Factory lights, I'd say by the 3rd - 5th year you'll have yellowing.
well I'm on the third year of this one set. they are the set I did my retro on and are aftermarket. The car hasn't always been garage kept but it is now ;)
Headlight Whore!
Same set on my retro since '04. Don't plan on doin' that shit again.
p.s
I convinced my buddy to get those headlights in your sig after he got his car painted. Those are hands down the best choice for that generation accord.
^lol, I have had the retro'd headlights for some time, the retros just havent always been in there! Tell your friend that for the right price my retro's are for sale!
i used the permatex shit was worth $17.99
i used 1000 grit then used 2000 grit...after i wet sanded them i sprayed ALOT of clear coat on them.
i just keep them cleaned, and wax them every once in a while. they still look new but its only been about 2 months . . .
nice write up. my lights were a little bit worse than yours so I started with 800grit so my hands wouldn't fall off. I just did 800-1000-1500 grit and it turned out very very nice. like new almost. I would take a pic. but I have no good camera. they are crx lights btw so pretty old lights needed a little more love
Looks good, I always do;
600 grit wet, to 100 grit wet to 1500 grit wet and then Mothers Mag Aluminum polish (the mothers rep told me about that trick) and finish w/ their plastic polish. Like New, no haze, no film.
i polished my integra lenses this weekend, they were pretty cloudy, i wet sanded with 2000 only until they were dull and then used my dewalt buffer and basic foam cutting pad with some meguiars diamond cut and they looked like new.
I was at ZEN MOTORSPORTS this Saturday and got my headlights polished! Them things look real good..hit them up..
