I didn't see this in the cleaning sticky. But what is the best way to clean the headlamp (exterior) lenses? After I wash my car there is still a fine film on them that doesn't come off with just high pressure wash? Any ideas of what can be used to get them crystal clear?

 

Elbow grease works wonders.

 

I accidently got wax on the cover and it doesnt come off...grr

 

Just last night after washing my 2k se I was running my fingers over the paint etc, and the headlights and I felt lots of those tiny invisible specs.
so I hit them both with the clay bar and presto, perfectly smooth and clean. I finished with some "Invisible Glass" to clean any residue.
The headlights sparkle like new. Give it a try.

Gotta Love the clay bar.

 

zaino or a different company?

 

Where do I get the clay bar? Just the local autoparts store? Is there gonna be any difference in quality between different brands?

 

Mother's offer a clay bar that you can buy for about $18.

 

scrub hard with a towel..... takes off all the film....

 

Yup... cheapest and easiest way. Works for us...

And if you break them from scrubbing too hard... 02 HID headlight conversion. Win-win situation!!!

 

How about cleaning the inside of the lense of the headlight unit. The inside looks a little hazy inside. And ideas how to clean it?

 

what's the invisible glass stuff?

 

Just a normal terry cloth with car shampoo? heh good idea, ey Y2Kev are u gonna get the 02 Hid headlights/taillamps?

 

Stoner's Invisible Glass. The best glass cleaner I have ever used! I purchase it at Pep Boys. Not sold in most stores. You can find it here, though: http://www.detailguru.com/stoninglas.html

 

Unless they really impress me... nope.

 

what are you going to do next with the new SC?

 

More mods!

 

seems crazy but it works.... take a terry cloth towel and wet the tip and on the tip put some washing powder or some dishwashing powder(not liquid) and rub w/ a lil elbow grease and vwolla, bling,bling!

 

go down to pepboys and pickup Waxshops SAFECUT. It is a plexiglass cleaner and polish with a very light abrasive. It will pull bugs, wax, and film with ease and makes them look new again. Try it on the rears also, and the red will look brand spanking new !!!

 

That stuff is the shiznit..... I use it foe fine scratches on my door handles or water spots.

 

Hey Kev can I put together a compilation post of this for the cleaning sticky? Ewww "cleaning sticky?"

 

Go for it.

 

So much for saving $$$ then.
