Sometimes it's easier to do it your self

I have a decent mechanic for the big stuff.  The little stuff I always do.

Just took the wife's Honda in for an oil change and tire rotation.

They said that I have an urgent need to clean the fog off my headlights.  $180

Went to YouTube and found ½ dozen ways, but the way I liked was to use Mother's Aluminum Wax - which I had an old container of.  It was dry, so added a teaspoon of mineral spirits and mixed it up.  Perfect.

Then had a butt roll of blue tape I taped up the paint around the light.

Buffed the Mothers into each headlight - took about 5 minutes a side.  Then let it sit for 10 minutes and with a clean rag started taking the wax off - wax on wax off until the headlights buffed clean..

They look like they're brand new

Cost - about ½ hour labor on my part

And I have $180 to put in the gas tank
