Yellow Fever (restoring R33 And R34 Model Headlights)

[TwoCents]

It works quite well apparently. Yet to try it on my R33 though, next on the list.. My lights aint heaps bad though just a about half the RHS light.

I found the best for my headlights has been to use one of these kits first off, and get the lights very clear. Then once every few months they will get a bit dull again, just go over them with some cut and polish and bam good as new.

Great Post. thanks for the tips. looking forward to trying it

Just thought I'd post my results with the Turtle Wax Headlight kit.

That works!

The 33 can look so good with polished headlights... I've done quite a few now.

It would have been said by now, I'm sure... but there is really no point doing anything to correct you headlights without a clear coat over the top. Otherwise you can practically count three months.

I just applied some cut&polish to my very smokey yellow headlights yesterday. Made sure I rubbed it in nicely, then moved over to the other headlight, waited 5-10 minutes for it to dry up in the sun and removed it. Lights came out glimmering!

Will post pics!

I think allumium polish is the best real cheap and it comes up like glass!

I still stand by the PlasticX or whatever its called. Had another crack at mine on saturday, but did it with an electric buff instead. Saved me lots of time and energy and turned out pretty decent.

My lights arent in tip top shape, they have a bit of crazy cracking going on. hard to tell if its the inside or out. But once they have been polished up you dont notice it too much.

Hoping its obvious that the drivers side is done and not the passengers And try to ignore the passengers indicator. LOL. It fell out under brakes and i run the bugger over. Was all that was left of it! Dam LED Repco light replacement.

plastic cleaner from sprint auto is all you need.

doesnt leave swirls

perfect finish

think it costs like 20 bucks

I use Brasso and a few rags and that seems to bring them up like new again. What i do is wash them and wait for them to dry then apply the Brasso and leave for a few minutes then with a clean rag give them a firm wipe off!

I use plastx myself and I think there are a number of solutions that will get rid of the yellow. However, I am more interested in a good sealant to make it last.

So far a coat of clear has yielded the best results and lasted a good few months - is there a longer term solution?

This.

The Turtle Wax Kit I used above, looked the goods for a while, but I'm back to yellow.

The UV sealant provided in the kit is obviously of teh gaids.

So we can right off the twax kit.

There are the glassylite and the invision/phillips kits - would like to get my hands on just the sealant to try.

I've been wondering how something like this might go.

My problem is its from the inside were all the damge is not on the outside,i used plastx there already clean headlights they are xenon S3 although it looks like the problem might be from the inside of the headlights unfortunately..

[West]

What's wrong with this headlight, does this look like i didn't do a good sanding job?

[sonnyQ]

errr did you use wet and dry? You have to buff it with plastx or something similar as well....
