Thank you for clearing that up better. I did think that WD may have stood for wheel dressing.

I had it when my mind wanders.

And you use this for wet sanding instead of water? Or just a coat before and dry sand. ...Power and or hand sanding.

I use it the same way as the Headlight Doctor system use the lube while sanding use the thinner to wipe it off after and coat with the top coat using a blue scott towel I sand with the 3m hook it discs on my cordless at high speed (my craftsmen 19.2 v has two speeds) I just do a light hand sand after the cordless
Doing it this way it takes 10-15 min for a pair and they look as good as any other system I have seen

The Wal*Mart in Greenville, TX (NE of Dallas) does headlight cleaning for $39.95, too. I talked to a mechanic who said they use the ClearView product sold in the store ($19.95). The product can be seen at http://www.myheadlights.com. Wal*Mart does not provide a warranty but the product package has a lifetime warranty on it. The mechanic says the product includes 2 types of wet grit paper and cloths containing chemicals which are wiped on after the sanding. He did his own car a few weeks ago and liked the results. I bet the results don't last.

Wal-Mart, where service is a four letter word.

I had a nail in my tire one holiday weekend some years ago, because the tire shops were closed I went to Wal-Mart, I figured it would be OK, They said come back in 30 minutes, I walked around the store for 30 minutes then went to pick up my rig, they hadn't fixed it, they couldn't get the wheel off, stock Toyota alloy, 6 bays and all that equipment, what more can I say???

Wasn't Texas the test area for Wal-Mart Car sales some years ago???

People love a cheap Wal-mart price, but not everything is cheaper at Wal-mart, Its just an image that they have sold to the American public, many things are cheaper elsewhere, I can find the same extension cords cheaper at my local hardware store any day of the week and I would sooner support them.

I'm sure Wal-mart will cherry pick the headlights they want to fix...
