DanR33 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 yes my R33 suffered from the fogged head lights desease that many 33's do... Ive heard stories about plastic polish doing the job but I dont just have that laying around the house... I tried all house hold items like jiff etc... and they just made it worse... then I heard what sounded like an old wives tale... toothpaste... I thought "why not... they cant get any worse..." on went the toothpaste with a expensive applicater (my finger)... waited til it dried... then off it came with a clean rag aswell as all the fog... my headlights look brand new... give it a try!!! is there anything toothpaste cant do???

Bobjones Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I used normal polish and it came up a treat and has not gone back since and that was a year ago... Meguirs Wet Look is what I used. I have also heard of using a light metal polish such as Autosol works, but cannot verify for myself...

TokyoTaxi Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Just Jap in Kirrawee ( NSW ) sell tubes of plastic cleaner at $20 a pop that works VERY well and is specifically for this type of problem. It's imported from Japan so good luck reading the instructions ! Not a polish but a cleaner. The odd thing is........it does smell a bit like toothpaste........but works much better.

Lazy-Bastard Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I read somewhere (maybe SAU) that Brasso would work....sounded just dodgey enough, so gave it a go and it works pretty well but they do fog over again after a few weeks. Might give toothpaste a try next time though...cause it sounds even dodgier Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/50372-fogged-headlights-anyone/#findComment-1002857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
