Faded Headlights

[SkyGTRline]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of anything that can be used to clear up faded headlights..

Parents car has one headlight that has gone all frosty.

Noticed this happens to the 33's and Supras...

Can anyone let me know if theres something for it, and where?

Thanx

Andrew

Just jap sell a tube of polish, its japanese, and works a treat. You don't need much and it works pretty easy. I think the tube was expensive for what you get, but its worth it. Its about as big as a small tube of toothpaste and was [guessing] $10-15, but you won't get anything else to work as good.

i used a fine car polish with a buff machine worked a treat

Kitten cut and polish works great, used it on my lights before the shannons wheel thing a few weekends ago and they turned out great, just dont let it sit for more then 20 seconds

Yeah, if it doesn't fix it up when you do the outside, you send it off to ????? [he was advertising on SAU, but I can't remember who it was] and they cut the headlight open and polish the inside side of the lens and then plastic weld/epoxy it back together and send it back, good as new.

yea its the insdie too

This is on an AU falcon.

Got the cut and polish on it...

Worked well, just need to get inside..

Dont think ill get to technical with it tho

[Baconer]

if you dont want to get technical then just put the lights (minus globes) in the oven on a low level, loosens the glue then just pull apart clean and reseal. Ive only heard of this working, never tried it so not sure if it will damage anything.

The Z's do this also. I just bought a bottle of Plastic Polish from Supercheap, works like a treat. About $15 i think..

do a search.

some guy did a xenon transplant in his R33 GTST using this method - looked like a fair amount of work, but came up tops.
