Want clear headlight lenses for $10 and 5 minutes?
Want clear headlight lenses for $10 and 5 minutes?
I bought this stuff @ NAPA for $10,(it was actually on sale for $8.18), I used a electric drill, 5 minutes per side and they came out great.
My lenses were looking a bit smoked over and my vision @ night is getting worse,(no old age comments please), so I figured I would try, check them out!

Hope this helps!

it will only last so long until plastic starts glazing/yellowing again.

True, but even if I have to do every few months, it is worth it, the kit was cheap and comes w/ 6 pads,(1 per light).

Toothpaste and a stiff toothbrush work just as well if not better and it's cheaper... Just my 2 cents

You can try clear coating headlights. Clear coat will protect plastic lense from UV rays in turn keeping them clear for much longer.

or you can take a bit of rim cleaner with uv protection spray it on let it sit for a second wipe it off than with a little trany fluid on a cloth wipe it again and its gets even clearer, thats what me and my buddy tried on mine and it worked really well

i bought that same stuff at autozone for 12 bucks and it worked like a charm - i couldnt believe it! i would totally recommend it - its beats anything i've seen or heard of yet and without all the headache or hard work. - yes i can be lazy.

I took regular old Turtle Wax and a rag, i rubbed it on and worked it around, and it looked pretty good afterwards

Re: Want clear headlight lenses for $10 and 5 minutes?
My buddy has a car detailing business and he does mine for free but that NAPA stuff looks great. So whats the deal with shooting them with automotive clear coat. Is it a more permenant solution? I have a spare set of headlites so I could just drop them off.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
