have some plastic headlamps that have become almost blurry, what product can be used to restore them back to clarity

 

Obviously I'm an amateur when it comes to products but I always t-cut repeatedly and they usually come up clear. Although one of the puma lights is being stubborn

 

anything with a cut in it will do, i used g3 as i had some handy. you may need to go through the stages with wet n dry if they are particularly bad.

make sure you seal them after wards to help stop them going the same way.

 

done my xenons
started by wet sanding using 1500 then 2000 then 2500 then 3000.could see by this point that they were looking very good.so machined them using 3m fast cut then refined with menzerna. gtechniq c4 was used to seal them then 2 coats of coli 476.im pleased with how they turned out

before



after



its important to seal them afterwards as they will yellow as headlights come from factory with a uv coating

 

Wow they look stunning

 

What a difference!! So am I right in guessing you have to seal them, say everytime you wash? Or does the seal stand up to the weather for a while?

 

did mine today with some cutting compound and was chuffed to bits with outcome, just had some autoglym resin polish to seal them but was well impressed

 

Brasso works well too

 

I sealed them with gtechniq c4. It needs to be sealed with a uv protectant as its uv light which fades them. Ag resin polish is no good mate.

 

if I come across some of the correct stuff I will do them again, best I could do with what was in my shed

 

I could do with doing the poomas head lights cause they are starting to go a bit shity.

 

Wet sand and machine polish is the only proper way

 

roughly how long should it take per lense? are we talking a couple of hours rubbing?

 

Halfords sell a Meguiars headlight restoration kit that's ment to be good

I spent a couple of hours on mine to get the perfect. Could prob get away with 30-40 mins per lense, thats wet sanding them and polishing.

 

I used the Meguiars kit and it worked really well.

 

thumbs up for the Meguiars kit then, thanks guys

 

i suppose i should have given it more than 5 minutes then before giving up?

 

 

Takes me roughly an hour to wet sand and machine polish
