    i have done quite a few of the buffing jobs, but this is the first time i have cleared any... these headlights were BAD!!! basically they were an experiment because if they didnt turn out, i was going to just buy new ones... both were very yellow, but one of them had an attempt at resealing, i used a razor blade to clean it off, then i used a DA sander w/ 400 grit and then wet sanded w/ 600 grit... taped up the housing and had them cleared when my front sheetmetal was painted and they look perfect!!! im talking out of the box from honda perfect... so for a little work, and one more step you can keep OEM parts on your ride...
