Do you guys know how i can get rid of some foggy subtance all over my headlights? I'm not sure if its inside the headlight or not. But pretty sure its outside? Anyone have a solution?

 

I used Maguires Bug and Tar remover the other day.....but it didn't take care of all of it.... I'd be interested to see if there is a real way to get that crap off.......

 

I went to auto store and they told me that the bug/tar remover is for PAINT or BODY of car only. NOT PLASTIC. Someone suggested that there was some kind of wax for plastic items?????

 

If its trully on the outside and not pits from road dirt, you can use Waxshop's Safecut. Its a plastic and plexiglass cleaner. It works extremely well, and I used it on my Amp Rack also to remove scratches. Its a light abrasive.....makes rear tail lights look new again also.

 

Heres the only link I can find on the web.....also purchased at Pepboys in certain locations. http://waxdepot.safeshopper.com/35/633.htm?183

 

Use 3M Plastic Polish. Works like a dream. Makes plastic crystal clear. I use it on my gauge cluster and license plate covers. The local NAPA and Pep Boys carry it.

 

I've used the 3m stuff also.....works great as a final coat or quick polish. The safecut has a little better abrasive material and works better at removing scratches and dirt. Just my opinion......

 

Yeah that fog stuff really bites I have some nice Raybrig 5000K HID and because of the stinking fog they look well FOGGY!!!!!!! Anyway I hope this is on the outside so I can eliminate it with some of that plastic cleaner. If not the dealer should replace my housing if it is condensation.

 

I heard that paint thinner works really well, just be careful not to get it on your paint. I'd take out the headlight first. Have yet to try it though...

 

thanks guy's... I will go buy this stuff today and give it a shot. I will post my results on the forum.

THNX!

 

the 3M stuff worked GREAT! It was definatly worth the $7.00! I even used it on my tail's. Now my headlights look better than they did when i bought it!

 

I got some Blue Magic plastic polish at Auto Zone. $4. Worked perfectly! Still a little foggy on the inside...but MUCH better. Thanks!

 

Nah return that blue stuff. Get the 3M. It made my lights look AWESOME! They are so clear now! They look better than original when i bought the car.

 

a) Meguiar's Plastic Cleaner and Polish
Meguiar's makes a 2 step process for cleaning plastic that is also very effective.

b) Plexus Plastic Cleaner and Protectant
This is one of the best items on the market today for cleaning plastic windows.

c) (Actually what I used on mine) Klasse All In One.
Yes, it is a cleaner for paint but many folks also use it to polish the plastic and it does not leave any type of haze.

 

Where do you guys buy this stuff at?

 

i've used both the klasse and the blue magic. both work well. i like klasse all over the car too.

 

i also by mistake put some 3M stuff on the bumper, so I said what the heck and wiped it in. After I wiped off with a towel, THE RESULTS WERE GREAT! This stuff is good as a clear coat/wax too!

 

help!!! it appears that mines on the inside, any suggestions 02 max

 

have you tried the cleaners yet?? if not you should, it might appear to be on the inside and it's probably on the outside.

 

and Safecut or Blue Magic or 3m will work great, but one thing you havent mentioned is to get your headlights as clean as you can. After they dry, wipe them off again if any pollen has collected. Use a very soft cotton cloth or microfiber.. This stuff is mildly abrasive and while the results are fantastic (they will look new), if you arent carefull about the towels you use, you can get fine scratches. Not scratches you can see if you stand back, but small ones nonetheless. I mean, if you are **** enough to polish your lights like me, you will also notice tiny microscopic scratches and get upset about it Just use light pressure and a soft cloth, you will like what you see and there shouldnt be any scratches (that werent there before from washing the car)

 

I also have the fogging headlights on my 2K2. The fog is on the inside of the lense. I'm getting the headlights replaced by the dealer under warranty.

 

Anybody have before and after pics? Or at least the after? I have always wondered if something was available to remove the haze from the headlight.

 

I didn't take a pic, but it was the best $3.50 I ever spent. they look brand new. And the Blue Magic did the trick big time.... I could eat off my headlights.

 

Geee.... $3.50. I payed $7.00. Maby next time it will be cheaper for me to ask you to buy it for me and ship it to me!

 

i noticed i have inside my headlight assy a film of some sort (not fog) verified this for sure by cleaning the outside w/ cleaner and polisher from 3m, unfortuneately it's still there. what do i do....

have dealer replace? can they? is it covered under warranty? help anybody please...

 

I asked about this a while ago and no one said anything...
I have this problem, too and it REALLY annoys me.

so, guys, any idea if this should be under warranty?

 

if after you make sure it's not on the outside, i'd head to the dealer and let them know. see what they say, you don't really have much to lose, but a bit of your time.

 

Mine were ordered and replace two days ago under warranty. No hassle from the dealer, they just did it.

 

HERE'S WHAT IS REALLY B/S DURING THE DAY YOU CANT TELL WHAT SO EVER (sorry caps)thats theres any film at all. only when it's dusk or at night can you tell. my fear is the dealer wont replace what they dont see wrong in the first place. any suggestions.....

 

that film inside the headlight on a 2k2 is some kind of protector film that prevents the HID beams from melting the plastic headlight.
I was told this by the dealer.

 

I noticed my headlights are foggy too. I've had the 3M plastic polish sitting in my basement for like 2 years and i've hardly ever used it. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks guys!
