Yeah sorry about the loud annoying music. I made a song to put in this video and someone stole it 6 months after I published this video and claimed it as theirs. Beyond music (the prolific music thiefs) are known to taking others work and claiming it is theirs. I have contemplated on taking this video down since it is ruined anyway. Also, I have found that they are again getting cloudy because there is no UV protection on them. With my Pontiac Aztek, I did something different and sanded it with 1000 grit and then directly topcoat with Meguiars headlight coating. This is proving to be the ticket as they look great after a summer. And, none of the polishing with the buffer. I recommend this method. Thanks for watching.
I just used pure carnauba wax that I use for mold release. They are still great. I have a few Solstice videos coming soon. I will show you then. There are a few different clear coats people are using now. I would try one of those but afraid of the peeling. Thanks for watching. More content coming!
That should be fine. May want to start with 1000g and move up from there. Headlights have a UV clearcoat on them that needs to be removed/blended. Thank you for being a long time subscriber! I really appreciate it.
I have seen a few with v8's. Since it is front engine, rear drive, you would need an electric motor to mate to the 5 speed transmission. There are people out there doing EV conversions using tesla power, but that would be for more of a transverse engine situation where you have a motor/transaxle. I have seen electric motors in just about everything these days!

Nice job and video.

Did you put a UV protectant on these? How are they fairing a year later?

No, converting it to EV would be a stupid idea.
Fun fact: EVs are TERRIBLE
