R33 Gt25t Series 1 headlight maintenance

[No Crust Racing]

Just in response to the parkers removal query if it wasn't solved, passenger side is easy access for aussie hands, driver side required me to loosen and move the fuse box, wiper fluid reservoir and the overflow bottle to get my hand in there 0_o. They may appeard hard to get at, but just pull back the rubber flaps covered them and twist 1/4quarter to get them out, remember not to touch the bulb surface =)

Car Toys in Adelaide do this for $99.00 if your time short. Pull em out and send em down, or leave them in your car. They have a whole process to get them into showroom condition, inside and out.

i used meguires scratch x. started by hand it did pretty well. 1 lights was bretty bad, the other had over spray on it. then i go a woollen pad and rubber disc for the drill and went to work with it. after about 20 seconds the bad 1 looked like new. then i took to the light with the overspray on it. took a bit longer but it took the overspray off. and the best thing is that since it is acutally made for paint u don't have to be that careful and u end up with this nice polished bit around the headlight.

i also had overspray on my chrome grill and i bit of metal polish and the buffer took that off in about 10 seconds.

I Do mine with Meguires Wet Look, You can get it on the paint surrounding the light it dont matter. its a fine polish and you would use it on your car anyhow ( I do my whole car in it). Takes all the Yellow off the lights and makes them look like new, and very shiny

Has anyone found a way to do this permanantly, did mine for the first time the other day and they came up like new, the next day they had gone back to the way they were, every time i do it it lasts a bit a longer but never stays like new.
