Foggy headlight fix.

I've looked at that product before & wondered if it worked, thanks for the tip.

yea thats the one in the tin foil looking package right? I used that.. kept wiping too long so I had a few streaks.. but still much better than they were!

[DarkWing]

Yeah, the odd, tin foil looking package. About $20.00, well worth it. If you stop wiping before the 20 second drying time, it all comes out OK. Really, very much worth the money for what you get. I'll try to get some other "after" pictures, but I cannot tell you any better how they looked before hand.

im curious to see how your finish holds up. I have had a problem with mine spotting from mud or from rain and pollen mix, the power washer and brush didnt take care of it, but some dish soap and a little elbow grease took care of it, also have more bugs stuck to it than i used to, maybe im just noticing more or maybe its the finish

Now, it didn't come out as sparklingly crystal clear, but I found that non-acetone nail polish remover knocks the yellow right off. Make sure to rinse it off very well pretty much immediately, since it leaves the plastic feeling tacky otherwise.

this string recommended using a polish. I did that, and it worked great.

a bit more work, but quite satisfying.

Headlights have a heavy clearcoat on them...pay attention when you sand them, you can see when you go thru it.....using a buffer on them will remove it as well. Once you've cleaned them, they restain very easily. I pulled mine out and shot them, but this does pretty much the same thing without removing them from the vehicle...looks like a good product to me. (don't get this stuff on the car or cladding...you won't be happy, it won't come off)

To be honest i just did mine which were much worse than the ones in these pictures.
I used a high speed buffer and 3M part# 05933 perfect-it #3
it is a very fine cutting compound to buff paint.
1) put on a thin coat and use the buffer carefully on the light fixture for a few min.
2) wipe it all off to inspect the spots you missed, then do it again to finish it again.
3) use a good wax like Zmyol to seal the plastic or the problem will return rather quickly.

Man, at work we sand some of he real bad ones down pretty good with a D.A.(800gt) , then wet sand 'em with 2000...then 3000 D.A. coarse cut compound, and a buffer( perfect it silver label)....Then clear them and stick 'em back in
