        The cracks could be from impact with road debris? I don't know, I went back and read through the thread and no cracks jumped out at me?

        Single Stage Paint & Oxidation ?? - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online
        http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20532
        At one of the car lots where I do some work there is a late 80's diesel truck - blue, but severly oxidized. The owner of the lot said he had a shop detail it when he first got it several months back and it looked pretty good, but within about a month the paint was chalky again. I used a foam pad and some 83 to test a spot



        Not sure if he'll reply to your question....

          I think this may be the photo with the cracks that was being referred to. You have to look close to see them all.



          They may not actually be cracks in the headlight itself, but possibly cracks in the original factory coating on the headlights. I know some headlights have a UV coating on them. In the previous picture it looks like maybe that coating could have failed, resulting in what looks like small cracks throughout the headlight. After the sanding and buffing process to restore the clarity of the headlights, the old coating was probably removed, which is why the cracks are no longer visible.
