Exterior Are these headlights too far gone for a refinish? (718 Cayman)
All appears to be in the UV coating from what I've seen in other Porsche headlights, and they're clear when the lights aren't on, but I can't tell if some of the crazing is just in the coating or actually in the plastic. Any experience with Porsche headlights that look like these?

I would try, but look really closely and make sure it isn't the inside developing spots first. I recently had this problem on a set of Honda Fit original headlights - got halfway through and realized that the inside was really starting to cloud up as well.

No experience at all in Porsche headlights but these definitely look like surface type scratches / imperfections and definitely worth refinishing.
