Headlight restoration...inside and out. - 08-29-2009, 09:04 AM

I have a set of 'Ebay Projectors', that I've had apart many times (retrofitting HID projectors/lenses)...

The last couple of times I had them apart, I didn't seal them very well, and I occasionally get condensation on the inside...which invariably causes stains...That, and they are a few years old...

I've used PB SSR previously on the outside to good effect, but I need to do the inside as well, which has some tight corners...
I was thinking maybe Mothers Mini Powerball?

I also have some LP Aero acrylic polish/sealant to try, which we use at work on aircraft windows to good effect...

Is the Powerball worth it?
Any other optioins?

Hand rubbing isn't going to cut it, I think...I want REALLY good optical quality!

If you can get it into the corner's it should work Mine works great at polishing aluminum.
