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

This has been discussed before but thougfht 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.

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?

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 :P

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/

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 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...

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.

it looks like you havnt got lenses on! good job!

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
