Driving it on the weekends is good enough for me. I like having low mileage vehicles as well. A 2002 accord is not that bad to drive around either. But I get what you're saying. My Z is 5 years old already.

And R Comps are not meant for daily driving. Could be very dangerous.

Not saying anything about titek. Just wonder if you are only looking for titek. I have the used bust (lol) ultimate hfc with extra bung. If you want to gut it out use it for TP, you can have it.

Anyone know how to restore haz headlight? I saw DIY, but I have no experience with any wax or polish.

I use Meguiar's Plastx it works really well. You can get it autozone for $6-8.

The Meguiars stuff works great, but if its only light to semi-hazed....any serious hazing i think you need to bust out the wet sanding method.

search google for "how to repair headlight haze" / "repair headlight haze" / etc..

also, do the same on youtube and you will find a bunch of morons with how to vids doing it on their honda's..

Which car is this for, the Z?

I have all the stuff to do it and depending on how bad it is I could have it done in less than five minutes.

Haze for the most part is going to be condensation/moist inside of the headlights..

Gotta bake pull it apart and clean the interior of the lens and make sure you re-seal the headlights airtight so it would not do it again..

What grit are you using for wet sanding chef j? You gotta make sure you have some sort of orbital / porter cable of some sort with a pad/polish compound to polish out the fine scratches that the wet sanding will give you.

Chef-J what's wrong with the HFC you have again?

Frigging tax free weekend. What a hassle. Traffic is backed up everywhere..with a bunch of idiot drivers.

Overrated tax free weekend F T L.

On the other hand, just picked up some s100 wax to use later!

I used 400? + sand paper. I think...it was about 2 years ago when i was in michigan. I bought it from wal-mart at that time.

My metallic HFC gave up after 3000 milies. Guess Core couldn't hold SC heat. Now i'm running TP, it's just sitting at my garage. The pipe is still good, just core looks trash.
