would be interested.

i used glassylite about 1 week ago, can post up pics here when im home tonight if anyone wants them. will report back in a few months to see what the progress is.

Got pics? im about to do mine with glassylite will post before and after if i remember.

*Is it worth wet sanding first before glassylite?

sorry forgot, and at work now so no pics but i can tell you that you should follow their instructions properly + probably sand longer than they recommend. cos mine were quite yellow, now they're just a little hazy but white. and i think that's cos i didn't sand them long enough, my arms got really tired and i thought i'd done enough ahahha. so one headlight is better than the other (learning from experience) - BUT neither are crystal clear, so maybe it's my fault...or glassylite doesn't work that well not sure!

Just did mine, they wern't looking so bad i gave them a wax last time i did the car which helped out a bit, should definitely sand for a lot longer than they recommended i probably went 15 minutes per side. Couldn't get my phone to work in the comp but they came up pretty nice.

yeap looks about right, mine is prob midway between your before/after cos I only sanded for ~5mins MAX haha, I reckon 15-20min solid sanding would be good. having said that, even yours doesn't look crystal clear - is this too much to expect of old faded lenses? or is it that this product isn't as good as we thought. opinions?

Compared to what mine looked like 3 weeks ago they look magnificent. I think the fact the plastic is 20 years old and has some wear and tear will stop them looking brand new but i think glassylite worked fine. Maybe an extra 10 mins sanding per side or as the op suggested using 4 grades of sandpaper would probably help that extra bit. If you have any sealant left over maybe give it another crack with the sanding.

yeah will defintely be giving it a second go, but every weekend i've got other things to do like remove acid rain stains from the glass by hand etc....so buggered by the end ahha it has to wait for the next week. But having said that glassylite DOES work just the degree of result is up for debate!

Guys I need to do this to the Honda Euro we have, and was thinking of putting the 3M paint protector clear vinyl stuff over the headlight once cleaned.

I reckon this should work quite well as the 3M stuff is UV protected and virtually invisible.

thoughts?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
