Phil - don't know if you saw my reply about MicroMesh products. Here is a link to where I bought mine on Amazon but you can find them on ebay also. I have used these on cars that had horrible rash with surprisingly good results. I use them wet but they can be used dry also. I cut these pads into 4ths so have a lifetime supply.

Mark those look EXACTLY like the pads that come with headlight restoration "kits"
For the "lovely" plastic headlight housings that our 1:1 cars have come with for the past 20+ year. I knew from day ONE that the plastic headlight lenses would NOT last more then 4-6 years and I was correct. Any car with substantial mileage and or that's been out in the elements more then 4+ years gets faded, yellowed, crazing, pitted etc.. Sanding them out helps substantially, but at night when the lights are on you can still see little specs in the lenses.

You're right Phil. I can't believe NHTSA hasn't done anything about this.
