Polished Tail Lights
Alright guys, before when I posted my car, people were always telling me I needed to polish my tail lights. Well yesterday when I got bored I was searching through the house I found this really nice polish (Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream), I tried it on a small part of the tail light. I was suddenly able to see the ground from the reflection. I took off the lights, Put them in the bath tub and washed them really nice. I made sure no water got inside them though. Got me a towel and put them on the floor, I didn't want any left over dirt on the floor. I washed them, and then got my polish see below-
Here is the car-
Here are the Tail Lights-

oh d00d, i dunno why i just niticed this but you can see my neighbors tent in his hard(hes water proofing it). And then his camper too.
All of the pics have been color cerrected wioth photoshop so you can see what they really look like. They looked too glary before color correction. see the one below, its un corrected version of the first one-
You can also see our dodge ram with the V-10 in the uncorrected photo.
I'm only a begginer with photoshop too. I wonder what some people can do with these pics. Hmmmmm......

thanks guys, I guess a few people actually remember what my car looks like. It did make a big difference. Next time i get some cash i'm gonna go to autozone and get me the needed sand paper to make it a real nice polish. This stuf was just applied to the tail light as it was.

but until then here are some more pics,
The best thing is none of these were color corrected either. The outside light went away to make the pics better.
My arthritis is so bad to get my hand to lean on the light like that hurt to fn bad you wouldn't belive it; runs in the family, arthritis at age of 16.
