headlight cleaning
 

My headlights look very slightly cloudy and am sure there is a special polish for them to get them gleaming again?
Any ideas
Thanks :)

You can use polishes , for example Meguires Plastix or you could try other paint polishes.

I took rather more drastic action a couple of weeks back in wetsanding the Headlamps to get rid of some yellowing and etching on my Xenons.I had tried various polishes to try to clean the lights before but with mixed results

Now they are crystal clear :cool:

depends on what side of lens too
i have wet flatted mine and polished with a mop
and there the same as when i started

Cheers, Bill.

Had a look at it Bill and I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to try the same method !
There must be an easier way to make them shine like new

Great colour car by the way looks superb

Thanks Stu..... Appreciated.

Yes, I have to say it does look quite a daunting task!

Although when I was in Zim way back I worked very closely with 3M and I remember going to one of my customers complaining that his aircraft canopy was really badly 'crazed', so I went along with the 3M rep and we removed it all with 3M polishing pruducts and a polisher. Took all morning mind!!! But hey, he was buying the beers at lunch....LOL.

ps. It looked like new aftwards!!! Amazing.

PS. I use a lot of 3M products, not widely known here or appreciated! http://3mcarcare.co.uk/ Ciao.

Wet sanding is the best, even trying to buy some plastix from pro detailer that was clearing the shop stock out even honestly told me it was pants and just wet sand...:D

I have used compounds on them before.

I used to do the plastic lenses the my wife's MX3 with Solvol Autosol.
It worked quite well and every 75 owner should have some chrome polish to hand.

Headlight cleaning
 

Is this the polish you mean?

I haven't used it, but I have some windscreen polish from the same place and it just worked a treat to remove the yellowish haze and small scratches that had appeared on my headlights

Hadn't noticed it was there until I read your thread. Gone now.
