Nasty foggy Headlights - 12/20/2007 8:12:58 PM    GirlwithanSIattitude Posts: 30 Joined: 11/17/2007 Status: offline Oh my awesome stuff for nasty headlights...check out mine... Notice the haze, such that the lights were smoking for 8 years... Pretty narly ANyways, its okay...the haze doesn't mean the plastic headlight is bad... ALL you need is restoration power...plus some tape and garage   before after This is a 3 step process where sandpaper is used to grind off the oxidizing components...it reminds me of soap scum. Look at the comparisons Anyways, thought I would share the left headlight hasnt been done yet, the right one has < Message edited by GirlwithanSIattitude -- 12/20/2007 8:28:03 PM > _____________________________ What, you think that girls can't drive fast too?

You don't have to live by the ocean to have that happen.  It happens over time from weather and especially in my area, from road salts and such materials.  It usually happens to headlights, it seems the new ones are better about not getting foggy though. _____________________________ Surf Wagon1994: might be getting a toy :D Forty4U2BNVS: I've been known to toot a pipe or two (in reply to Bonestock98) Post #: 5

Side note, this can be done using rubbing compound and a buffer too.  You can do it by hand with rubbing compoud, but its pretty tedious. _____________________________ Don''''t PM me with tech questions Antartic Blue Super Sports wagon with C.B. and optional Rally Fun Pack (in reply to GReddy_Civic) Post #: 6

The only bad thing is that it'll come back after time - no matter what you do.  The plastic is the problem. _____________________________ You know you've sunk to a new low when you must look up at a Toyota Matrix (in reply to 2slo4u) Post #: 9
