Since it was a chill day today and I don't have any appointments I decided to clean up my sisters foggy headlights on her 2000 Honda accord. So I took out my rotary buffer and detailing supplies and went to work on it.
First, I cleaned the headlight with my detailing spray and wiped it down so it's free from debris.
Then I took out my rotary buffer and some polishing compound to polish the headlight. This removes the yellowish stuff off the headlights and makes it clear again. Too much of this build up can be very dangerous especially at night since this prevents light to pass through making the headlight less effective.

Hope you guys enjoy this little How to. It's pretty easy to do and pretty cheap comparing to buying a new set of lights. Just needs some elbow grease and some time. You can also do it by hand if you don't have a buffer handy but it takes more time.
