Cleaning headlight so easy?

JPEG · Post by **JPEG** » November 7th, 2005, 1:16 am

I was looking at the FAQ to be able to clean my headlights, (because they are really brownish) and I was surprised that it was the outside that was dirty, not the inside. Did I understand well?

Thanks,
JP

yes it's most likely the outside, since thay are plastic, they tend to turn a yellowish colour. Just a few minutes of rubbing with plastic cleaner should clear them up again.

To really clean them up, softly wetsand them with 1200 sandpaper and buff them with rubbing compound followed by foam polishing pad glaze.

It took you maybe two minutes to write your phrases, and that's all I needed to be able to properly clean my headlights.

The easiest way to explain why its on the outside is imagine a CD, if you run your Tshirt across it, it could scratch the cd with fine scratches right?

Imagine your headlights and road grime @ 50 mph.

I also updated the FAQ too with some stuff that I have used.
