Magic Headlight Fix.

[lowbro]

I stumbled upon using the Mothers black trim restorer product a long time back, used for trims/plastics etc, it does a great job on my 34 lights, clean as and no oxidation has returned!

As some of the guys on here know I supply Aerospace products and I'm waiting on the approvals for a new product that will fix this problem for good.

My 34 lights will be the test pilots and there looking pretty ordinary at the moment.

Watch the link and as soon as this product is available, I'll have a sample to test and will post before and after pics.

you can get headlight restoration kits for like $30 that have all you need and also replaces the UV shield.

See this thread.

What a lot of us have found is the UV sealant in the kits don't work.

I can't seem to find anything online

Noy, that looks interesting,

Cant wait to see the updates

I just did headlight restoration on an R34 using fine grade wet and dry sand paper, followed by standard compounding and polishing steps and sealing with Meguairs Plastix.

Came up brand new, took a few pics of left to right comparison.

have used that combination with good results also. However, it lacks longevity

[iwanta34gtr]

Although I get bored of cars pretty quickly, there are a few in my collection that I have kept for years and after doing this and keeping the plastix on them every few months, have not had the yellowing reoccur.

[iwanta34gtr]

Just thinking. Every time I wax my cars I go over the head lights as well, so this potentially helps a bit.

But if you want a dedicated sealant, you could try this - http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g17110-headlight-protectant/

I've got a bottle but cant give any educated or constructive feedback as I havent used it yet.

Hope this helps.

This is what we are trying to avoid.

[iwanta34gtr]

Haha sorry, if thats the case - could try shooting them with a coat of clear or the headlight sealant above.

Hope this helps.

[iwanta34gtr]

Just thinking. To keep them looking their absolute best, I believe they would need an application of some form of protectant every few months unless you plan on clear coating them. Its sort of like maintaining the paint on your car.

Apart from this, unfortunately I dont think there would be such a thing as apply and forget.

There are other film based solutions i've heard about, but again - havent tried them so cant provide feedback.
