Cloudy Headlight Lenses

This has been discussed before but thought I'd give it another plug. This stuff is the shizznit. It really works and converted my cloudy dull lenses to new. Sorry didn't take before and after pics.

p.s. mask the bodywork around the lense, it states on the bottle to avoid contact with paintwork

Looks like it's good stuff, Mark. Can we buy that at pretty much any car places in WA?

auto barn sells this shit! its the good stuff!

for people that are tinting the tail lights. advice is to get a good dark tint sprayed, after 24 hours cut and polish.. after thats done finish it up with this folish in the link.. comes up almost like the paint on your car.. no cop attention either as it looks ADR painted

This was just before i did the last touch up of the plastic polish, n you can imagine what it comes up like.. i should post a later pic

Nice work, Aaron. Is that process reversible?

yeh it should be with some non aggresive paint thinner. i managed to get most of it off the previous car and polishing it back to clear..

I guess we shall see if the time ever has to come

ooohh but this stuff wont work if your headlights are yellow from the inside.. sometimes Jap take the bulb out before they send it as they know Aus compliance has to put a new one in anyway.. and the "hole" left unclosed for the bulb tends to stay open and all the salt watery air gets in there while its being shipped.

thats what makes it go yuck lol

i use plastx all the time. only thing is once ur lights start to cloud u need to clean it with plastx at least once every 3-4 months otherwise it will start to oxidise again, its not a permanent fix.

another tip for this is to clean them. take em to a panel beater. and ask them to clear coat! stays l;ike new, never oxidised, well from the outside/

You can get a 3M protector film which would be less expensive & less maintenance

Oh havnt heard of it. But would it taper around the shape of our headlight or is it specially designed

[fcruz3r]

paul had like a tinted film over his previous h/lights and they bubbled up under the heat

high temp clear coat may be the way to go. In fact it probably came with a protective coat from the factory which wears out over time....explains why it starts to cloud only after a couple of years.

I have used this as well. Started of with Brite-Shine first to get the bulk of the crap off, then finished of with this. In the pic the drivers side has been done the passenger side hasn't.

^^^ i use this stuff

Nightcrawler put me on to it when i bought some old mags off him

you need to keep applying it every few weeks to keep the lenses sparkly but is paintwork safe.

i even use it as a wax on my old bluey and will spray on wax off as opposed to washing it!

does chrome, bumpers - basically anything you can think of except glass - because it is a wax...

believe it or not majority of normal car polish will work, but not as well as plastx

unfortunately urine doesnt work. lol
