I wanted to help you guys out with the hazing so i posted this for you guys. It's a rub on, wipe off polish.

I recently purchased a headlight polisher on ebay, from upper_bound, with the money i had left on my debit card, i only had 8 dollars on it left and saw a headlight polish for 5.95 with FREE SHIPPING.

The guy ships fast and i am glad i bought this online. Saved me 50 dollars from purchasing the Plastix cleaner.




Here are my before and afters, i tried taking same angled shots to show the difference.









heres the product.

 

oooh...I'm sooo getting this.

 

looks great! what about yellowing? can't wait to get this!

 

I did the same thing this weekend to the passenger side headlight (replaced one head light, and kept the old one). I used 2500 sandpaper (wet) and then moved to a headlight pad that you put into a drill, then rubbing compound, then to Mcguires headlight polish. Ive got the old headlight looking better than the new one so ive got some more work to do. BTW looks great

 

Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish works as well and it comes with more and is cheaper ($4 at Wal-Mart).

 

well, i tried plastix 50 dollar one from a friend, this ebay product i just bought came out better. Other one left little haze and this also works for Dashboard gauges, tail lamps, radio faceplates, turntable covers, sports helmets, cds, dvds, fish tanks, and other plastic goods.

This should, IMO, take out yellowing.

time to go, CAVS are losing. =(

 

I have both my headlights nicely polished at the moment, after 2000 grit wetsanding. I used some Plastx polish, and it will stay great for a day or two and then get a mild fogginess to it. All it takes is one good pass with more of the polish and it looks great again, but it doesn't last.

What kind of pads are you guys using to buff this stuff in? I'm currently doing it by hand, but have some sort of buffer in the basement I've never used that my dad got for free last summer.

 

i used a cotton towel. directions come with it, it says use a clean cloth to polish in circular motion. Then let dry to light haze and then buff using clean part.

 

Now that it's been a few days, how is it holding up? Any haze at all?

 

perfect as how i left it. =)

i can see brighter down a wide alley. =P

 

I got to get some of this

I use this kit and it works awesome.

look at the price difference.

 

Can't get anything past you! The kit I posted comes w/ buffing attachments for drills and a polish to remove the yellowing a lot of headlights get. What you got is a container of rubbing compound/polish.

 

lol? why waste money when u can use a towel and 5 minutes of ur time for both lights. Im sure using buffers and all take 15 minutes.

plus, one cant afford a drill?!

 

I have always used brake cleaner on my lights ... Just gotta be careful with getting it on your paint

 

thats great, high quality stuff

 

get ur post count up. =)

 

I've just tried it. Worked well on my bro's camry. It works extreemely well, especially if your plastic looks as bad the OP's.

 

WOOT, glad u liked the product as much as i did.

 

yep, it's good stuff. Thanks for the heads'up!

 

I've had my max for about 5 years and I just joined...i bought my max even though the headlights looked like they cataracts. Great thread!!

 

u were driving it at 14 y/o ? isnt that illegal ?

 

well my older brother and I share this car

 

its not illegal till u got caught. Hah

 

I've got the 8125 also

 

im lovin` mines. Got it for 80. you know any tricks to it yet? like go on aim thru texting.

 

80? Damn I paid $300 for mine, but that was about 7 months ago...

^^^everything you need to know

 

i once used toothpaste , and a soft cloth, and followed that with pledge,, on an old, plastic M/C speedo cover, worked really good, dont know how it held up long term, sold it after 2 months.

 

toothpaste helps bring back more hazing. =x

 

Thanks OP!! works like a charm

 

The Mothers mag and aluminum worked wonders!! Lights seems brighter too.

 

I still have the glass housing for my headlights...

BUT my mom's solara was starting to cloud up and i used some ceramic cooktop cleaner and a soft cloth and buffed it on and buffed it off and it seemed to get the job done. I think its about 5$ at walmart. I think the brand is cook top.

 

so do we have an update on this product? how are the lights now?

 

I didnt even know a problem existed with our lights, at what point do they start to go bad? Im cool on this stuff,........... if it aint broke dont fix it!!!!

 

bump for a great thread with links................

 

I used this about 3 months ago and the headlights are still looking great.
