They have got loads of stuff for polishing things up. bigbruno 02-02-2009, 04:32 PM A cheap way is to use toothpaste and some paper towels. Just rub it in likw you would a polishing compound, and then wipe it clean. BuenasNalgas 02-02-2009, 11:01 PM A cheap way is to use toothpaste and some paper towels.

Also if you ever get burned, apply toothpaste immediately and you shouldn't have any blistering the next day either.... Street5927 02-03-2009, 04:21 AM This is an excellent product. http://www.autogeek.net/diamondite-clear-plastic.html HRTKD 02-03-2009, 09:39 AM On my '91 Ranger I used regular automotive polish (not wax) and it made a world of difference.

Just need to muscle it a bit. HRTKD 03-08-2009, 12:12 PM Yes, but what I used was stuff that I already had in my detailing kit. So for me it was "free". bullm109 03-08-2009, 01:10 PM 800 grit, then 1500 grit water sand paper to get the fine scrathes out then use neverdull or compound to finish. Try to get all of the wax off or the heat from the headlight will start it to dull again. Worked great for mine!:thumbsup-big: Street5927 03-12-2009, 03:17 PM 800 grit, then 1500 grit water sand paper to get the fine scrathes out then use neverdull or compound to finish.

HRTKD 03-12-2009, 03:21 PM How do you "re-seal the headlight"? 9balllrook 03-12-2009, 04:39 PM Meguire's makes a headlight restoration kit for about $25. If it's just the plastic cover use PlasteX. Street5927 03-12-2009, 05:55 PM How do you "re-seal the headlight"? I use the Diamonite Headlight restoration kit, which includes clear plastic liquid armor which is applied after the restoration is complete to seal the headlight lense. This protects the headlight lense and adds UV protection, which prevents the discoloration from reoccurring rapidly. Here is the website again, as I had listed in a previous reply. http://www.autogeek.net/diamondite-clear-plastic.html | ||
