I have a buddy with a Carrera that has terrible looking headlights as there is a lot of oxidation etc. He was told there is nothing that can be done about it, I figure that's not the case.
So any of you detailing guys know how to get it done here in SoCal?
Let me know!!

Gotta be something that can be done. Don't know about Carrera headlights, but generally, if the lens is acrylic, you'll need the kit for acrylic and so on. I'd start with investigating the detailer's domain and then a trip to a local auto parts store. Chances are, the fix is easy - even though I'm not a pro detailer or anything.
