Perhaps you are not... or perhaps you are. Possibly you went to all the
trouble to locate the web site and post the URL sheerly out of the
goodness of your heart. And possibly the former Finance Minister of
Nigeria really does have a check for me.
However, there are several headlight restoring kits on the market, all
work to some level of effectivity. The better ones have a protective
finish, which must be renewed periodically. Some, e.g. Mothers, come
with their own buffing tool to make it easier.
