my arms on my blades faded too. I just spray painted them...they are shiny now haha...but i saw you shaved your Max emblem off. Too bad. But youre not the first one i have seen that wanted a clean look. I love black on black. The wheels look nice with it. No drop either...save your suspension!! Major Kudos

Wow! Now thats a clean Max! Very nice!
-For the headlights, try some Mother's Plastic Polish. Its for headlights like yours. I use a buffer, but even a battery drill or the kid in the first pic with some starbux (lol) will polish them up. We have an abundance of fogged and yellowed lights here, I don't exactly know the cause, but I can get them very close to new. Give that Mother's a shot, its like $6.

You can get a buffer (variable speed of course) from Harbor Freight for like $40 and a pad will be about $5. Granted its not the best buffer, but I have had mine for 2 years and have buffed approximately 6 cars each year and have no problems yet. (I got my moneys worth, I charge $40 to buff a car.I do mine twice a year - beginning and end of summer)
-A drill is in between, will take longer and MAY have a haze, just depends on how persistent you are, but will yield good results. It will definitely take longer than a high speed buff though.
-Doing by hand can be done, but will take the longest and will be most complicated to achieve the OEM clearness. (Esp. in Lauderdale at this time of year, better have a lot of Gatorade or water!! You'll die from that heat/ humidity!!)

But I also spent about $600 after bushings, dust covers, and extra little parts. I like how yours looks with the OEM stance though, I think the rims help that. If you need help if you ever drop it, maybe I'll make a road trip down to visit my uncle and give you a hand. I am always looking for a reason to leave Ohio if I can afford the gas. LOL!
