greased the brake pads and changed the fuel filter on the truck. I think it was the original with almost 86k on it and the gas that came out was black like motor oil ---

Polished out the headlights on the Jetta. They felt pretty rough to the touch. Pretty much all of the yellow is gone from the surface. ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/65d80514.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/65d80514.jpg) ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/2f8ca1fc.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/2f8ca1fc.jpg) They were kinda rough and very hazy and lots of yellow on the surface. Below is a super closeup of the surface. VERY rough and completely opaque. ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/fe5e8ee4.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/fe5e8ee4.jpg) Taped them off and started to work ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/d0dc6a83.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/d0dc6a83.jpg) ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/ab59753c.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/ab59753c.jpg) These pads took the longest, but they worked GREAT. ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/93ce6877.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/93ce6877.jpg) Here’s a shot in progress. It’s very hazy buy much MUCH smoother and uniform. ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/9ad94600.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/9ad94600.jpg) Last steps of polishing. This is a bit of wax on the headlight. ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/ee1bd3ce.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/ee1bd3ce.jpg) And the final result. MUUUUUCH clearer than what I started with and a LOT less yellow on the surface. ![http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/949fb024.jpg](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/votblindub2/Jetta%20Headlights/949fb024.jpg) ---
