Clear up your headlights!!!

[DJ Brave]

Just a little tip that i learned about the other day. If your headlights have a foggy look to them in the lense, get a MILD cut and polish on to the outside and they will look like new again. Makes a huge difference to the look of your car and my headlights are now alot better at night with a clear fog free lense!!

Hope this helps you all out. I wasnt keen on buying new lenses and now there is no need to. Spread the word fellow liners!!

my headlights are foggy too...i thinnk because i didnt put the bulb in properly so crap got in.

what do you mean by MILD CUT?

[DJ Brave]

a mild cut and polish means it has a small amount of abbraisive content to help remove the layer of dullness in paint surfaces. Paint is a kind of plastic when it dries, your headlights are plastic so it cleans them in a similar way. BUT, if you use a heavy grit cut and polish you may scratch your headlights perminantly= NOT GOOD!!! Try a standard polish first if you want and if that doesnt work then try the MILD cut and polish. Tell the guy in the shop what you are doing and he will probably put you on to the right stuff. My lights look great-like new.

could you tell us what specific cut & polish product you used?...

I used Farecla G3 Liquid compound on mine, does the job good. The only thing is the haze will come back again in a few months. Im gonna try sanding headlights with P1200 & spraying a coat of 2 pak clear over em as a permanent fix, will post results when i do it.

yep toothpaste works as well...

this applies just for the R33's as they have plastic headlights.

This has been covered before. It's a common thing with s1 r33's. I used turtle wax. There's also a BMW place that'll clean them real nice but its $$$
