I'm sure you understand that in the interest of increasing the final value of my car at auction, I cannot reveal the reserve price publically.

Your friend is encouraged to bid his maximum price he'd be willing to pay. If its above the reserve, good for both of us. If not, at least he gave it a shot.

For the sake of argument though, it wouldn't make much sense to make it drastically different than the buy it now price.

Hey PACKFAN17..
I can answer that. I have a 2000 Mustang convertible myself and the headlights had hazed over horribly.
And yes..it can affect safety and brightness.

The hazing is caused by the sun on the type of plastic that Ford uses for their headlights.
I am guessing that they have not fixed the problem because they can now make you treat your headlights like tires and change them out on occassion.

Anyways, I cleared mine up and they now look new.

If your headlights are like mine, the hazing is not uniform. There are spots that are worse than others.
To get the worst of the hazing off, I first sanded the headlights down with some 600 grit sandpaper. Be sure to keep the headlights wet while you are sanding. I kept a spray bottle with water next to me while working.
I then used a padded polishing head in a corded drill. (Cordless drill batteries kept dying.) With the drill and pad, I used polishing compound and, with the headlights still being kept wet, I kept buffing out the headlights until they went clear.
Lastly, using the cleaned, padded polishing head, I really buffed in some wax.

You ARE going to have to wash the car when this is done. The spray from the sides of the pad will have left residue everywhere.
When you wash the car though, if you buffed the headlights long enough, your headlights will look like new.
