This is not a probability of success.

even though my '03 C4S was garaged the headlights were a terrible milky yellow from the california sun - i tried doing the re-polish myself using off the shelf product from NAPA but got nowhere.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

even though my '03 C4S was garaged the headlights were a terrible milky yellow from the california sun - i tried doing the re-polish myself using off the shelf product from NAPA but got nowhere. i found a local guy advertising on CL who charged me $50 for both headlights - i was suspect and a bit paranoid considered the ridiculously low price so i watched him like a hawk - what a great kid - he's in the army for 8 years stationed at fort lewis which was an hours drive to my house. took him 2.5 hrs - i gave him a $50 tip and really appreciated his work ethic turns out he's a mechanic and works on japanese/swedish cars - i'll have him wrench on my wife's saab - i've got a laundry list for him but he's not going anywhere near her headllights
