Nice Headlights

Above, the after shot. And below, the before shot.

Over a year ago, during my vehicle inspection, I was warned that I should do something about the discoloration on the van’s headlights. They had gotten quite yellow over time… plastic, sunlight, road yuck…

So finally during this Christmas stay-cation I got after it with a purportedly magical paste from the auto parts place. WOW, how incredibly rewarding!

I’m usually skeptical of products like that… will a $32 petroleum distillate actually work better than baking soda or vinegar or rock salt or whatever? But I’m also too lazy to do my own experimental research. So I plunked down the money and got to work. Maybe next time I’ll try the lemon juice method.

It took maybe 45 minutes of rubbing firmly in small circles, but now I can see and be seen better, and the few chicks who weren’t already swooning over the mighty minivan are sure to come round.
