hey peoples

this is a bit wierd... i chucked some water on the front of my car the other day to try clean the bonnet / front bumper... i noticed though that the headlights seemed to be covered by this white stuff... so i washed em again and again and with spray/wipe etc etc... and when the water is on the headlights the white stuff goes away, then a minute or 2 later it cames back.. it seems to be inside the headlight..

anyways so i thought maybe its moisture so i left the headlights / engine on for a bit to dry it out.. but it doesnt seem to be moisture.. its like some actual white stuff... evan when i clean it 10000 times with 100 diff cleaning products it still comes back with a white layer on it :)

kinda anoyed because all i literaly did was through some water over the car...something ive done 1000 times... anyone have any ideas what this white stuff could be (and lets all be mature about this please :P ) ?? or how the hell to clean it off ????????????

:(;):spank:

thanks heaps :spank:

ok im going to officialy say the using toothpaste to brighten your headlights rumour is a load of crap :P

the white stuff is still on the headlights tho grr :( it goes away when u pour water on it.. then comes bak a minute or 2 later

ok peoples after trying every single product in the laundry / toothpaste / turtlewax car polish.. ive found the winning product :P

this car shampoo stuff called 'vip car shampoo'

the headlights are reeaaaallly shiny as well now :(

I have some tube-paste stuff that worked for a while... but my lights keep fogging over like crazy. There are two spots where it HASN'T fogged over, in different places on each lens.

I bought Maguire's PlastiX... it kinda works like the rest, but the fog comes back in a weeks time. I'm not game to polish the lights, as i'll prolly end up polishing all the panels around the lights and stuffing it right up!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
