Head light Assembly for 2001 Grand Cherokee

Hazy but not too bad so I am told. I wondered about how long the polishing lasts? I am thinking about it. The dealer will do it for $100 and an other local garage wants $136. Not sure about why the price difference.

It's just labor. But do mask off the surrounding paint, especially
if you use a spinnyball or pad.

Lots of examples. I've used Flitz with good results. Also used
McGuires polishing compound.

The key is how long it lasts. Just rubbing the surface clean will
last for a while, but you really need to seal it back up or it will
haze over again. This is where you need good product and a very
clean surface.

or suchlike. Don't just use any ol clearcoat, plastic is kinda picky.
