Cleaning/polishing headlamps

**jigger1166** · 05-04-2008, 02:24 PM

Has anyone had any luck cleaning/polishing their headlamp lenses?
If so, how did you do it?

I did mine and removed the bumps/nipples at the same time. Started with wetsanding with 800 > 1000 > 2000 and polished them with Novus polish. No pics since I did it but I'm real happy with them now.

try mother metal polish on em first. . . it sometimes works wonders on plastic. if it doesn't, order the plastic headlight restoration kit from eastwood

its like 40 bucks

Autozone sells a kit as well. Got a TA so I dont know how well it work. I think it was like 20 bucks when I saw it.

Novus kit and wetsanding will do the trick. Your arms will hate you but the lights will like close to new.

PMs sent. Heres a hint, check with a few online hot tub/spa depots. They sell the kit to polish the plastic that hot tubs are made with as well.

Buffer or lots of elbow grease + rubbing compound = clean and clear lenses unless problem is inside the lens.
