Leave your car out in the hot Florida sun for 30 years and what do you expect?

3M hand glaze and a dab of "Blue Magic" works wonders on all things plastic...(a tip learned from our National PCA Concours Judges and entrants).

Actually my car is parked in a garage. But yes, the Florida sun is brutal.

I am actually interested in others opinions on their process. It looks rather unique and their warranty is pretty outstanding.

Thoughts anyone?

Wow - what a RIP-OFF. You can do it yourself for around 18 bucks and 20 minutes of your time. It never amazes me how people piss away money.

One of several products that work "wonders":
Meguiar's G1900K Headlight and Clear Plastic Restoration Kit

i got all excited when I hit the website and it said "relensing for $100"

I thought maybe I coudl ship them my lights and they coudl swap out just the lens portion for $100...

what a cheap easy way to get rid of the amber in my lights..

then I realized that they simply have named this "cleaning" service "relensing".

you don't ge ta new lense..they just clean it.

on that topic - is it possible to get a new "lens" for a 986 headlight and separate the light and then put on the new lens and reseal it... sounds to me like it would be more hassle / expense than just finding/buying newer lights..unless Porsche sold the replacement lenses dirt cheap... wait..Porsche sell a replacement part cheap. HA! HA! HA!

i'll just keep looking for newer lights...

^IIRC you can only buy the entire headlight assembly and not just the individual components.

You can unseal/reseal the headlight assembly, it is a mildly frustrating and nerving process that involves baking your headlight assembly in a 200ƒ degree oven to soften the adhesive...
