Cleaning knackered light lenses (1 Viewer)

After seeing a recommendation on here for some lens cleaning paste, i thought id get some to try before buying new units ( around £150 each).
Well impressed.

before cleaning

after rubbing with 2000 grit wet or dry (wet)

half polished

finished, around an hours work on each

Just ordered some uv protective wax .

I like the crocodile skin bonnet decal.

Oh and the headlight has come up a treat.

Best lacquer spray the headlight when finished as you have exposed a non protective layer to the sun now. Or that's how it was explained to me

The autoglym kit is excellent also.

As said, ordered some.

Looks good. I've used some fine grit cutting paste and orbital polisher. Saves the elbow grease.

I used autoglym polish and an orbital polisher and it worked on one of the cars. Used toothpaste on the other and whilst that worked the effect didn’t last as long.

the autoglym kit comes with 800,1500,2000 & 3000 grit papers that attach to a supplied pad that will go in a cordless drill .all you need is a water spray then clean off & then attach polishing pads to same drill pad & use the supplied liquid .says it does 2 headlights but I used it for 4 recently & still some left

A good option could be clip on polycabonate headlight protectors. Clear polycabonate has a pretty good UV cut off.
