Looks good. We have a kit that completely sands off all that UV coating and then buffs and then polishes them. The can be made to looks 100% PERFECT. You gotta keep up with them then since there is no more protection coating on them.

My car is driven a few times a week from a garage to a parking garage at work. I'm hoping it won't require too much up keep

I used the off the shelf kit on my wife's car. They went right back to hazed over within a couple months. I did them again and had a buddy shoot some straight clear over them and haven't had an issue in a year or so. My V's lights are every bit as bad as the OP's if not worse. I probably will have to start out with at least 800 or so to cut out the DEEP ones.

Did this last year....just start with 400 gritt to get off all the oxidation. Then move up to 600 800 then wet sand with 1200 1500 2000 and then polish and wax. They will look brand new again...just takes a little time!!!
