There is one larger scuff about the size of a quarter on the driver's side lamp over the turn signal.

I am looking for any offers, and if noone takes, they will be thrown on Ebay in 1-2 weeks.

Where did you get that polish from?

Those are some impressive results. I'm going to have to look into doing that on both my cars. Thanks for posting the pics.

Looks like some really good stuff. I tried wetsanding on my extra headlight lens and it really f*cked it up bad. Will be getting this stuff and skipping the wetsanding.

I lost the instruction manual somewhere in the abyss of my garage, but the box doesn't say. I just Googled it and came up with that it's by NicSand.
