    My Headlight Resto

    Before and After pics, figured I'd share... all credit is due to the member with the blue LS1 Z for his in-depth, step-by-step procedure!!! I cut a few corners, but they turned out better than expected for sure!

    Looks good, I have been pretty lucky with mine. Never had to buff them out.
    Guess using Zaino all the time on them, really works.

    Doesn't hurt however garaging a car really saves it more than anything

    Your car is side-by-side with Preston's as far as being able to eat off internal parts Of course, I'm going to side with Preston, just because of the pewter Z28Thunder comes pretty close with the white as well...

    Once you wet sand it,you need to polish and buff it once a month. I did that to my Jeep headlights, made a world of difference, however I have to keep polishing them inorder to keep them clear.

    Did you leave the casting knobs on or grind them off? I've been looking to do this but I don't know if I can knock those off or not, they look so stupid.

    Wax over them-they shouldn't oxidize anymore.

    The only thing I keep staring at is that hood grill! Lose it and the car will look a lot cleaner!
