Cloudy headlights -fixed

[nfpgasmask]

I just used this with good results:



Got it at Wal*mart for like $8. The kit I got only came with one tube and some 1500 grit paper. It took about 15 minutes per light and made a HUGE difference. I am very happy with the results, and it was really easy. Just takes a little elbow grease.

i used the crystal view chemicals kit (from the foil package) like 6 months ago.. maybe longer.. just noticed that the final coat has started to yellow around the top and is now peeling back like a layer of glue

Time to freshen...

I used the Crystal View kit back in October (so about 7 months ago) and it worked quickly, easily, and beautifully. No peeling issues yet - buy I would have no problem doing it over again.

My headlights were waaaaaaayyyyyy worse off than in Thmstc's pictures. You literally couldn't see in through the top of the lenses. The only thing extra I did was to start with a 1000 grit sandpaper which I had already bought - then I moved onto the 1500 and 1500 grit papers that came with the kit.

got around to restoring one of my headlights.. again..

used the silver package mentioned in this thread about a year ago... and they now look like crap again.. very yellow and peeling


so i went back to work with blue magic headlight restorer



took me a good long time to get the old crap off.. probably about 30 minutes

after that i broke out the mcguires plastx to finish it up



heres the before and after...








hopefully this will last a while

Agreed! I use Meguires PlastX on the headlights of my WRX and it works great... like a fine rubbing compound.

on a side note, don't ya just love the fine panel fit of the hood next to the headlights! I'm always thinking my bumper stops are out of whack or something, it's just hard to accept the fit is so gawdawful. Oh well.
More on topic, I can't remember which product it was but I got something at advanced or autozone which attaches to your drill and you use it like a mini-buffer. Worked pretty well with no worries thus far. And yes, my h/lamps were much worse than some of the ones pictured here. At least we have options!

Just tried The Meguires "Plastx"...

Agreed! I use Meguires PlastX on the headlights of my WRX and it works great... like a fine rubbing compound.

....its AWESOME


Took about 20 mins to do both h/lights...

....they look like new!


I'd highly recommend it.
