Ok, here is my new problem, I drive alot of miles a day on the highway. My headlights are taking a beating from the junk that is on the road. My headlight lens need help. Is there anything that I can do to get rid of that scratched and pitted look? Its not a good look at all

Thanks
Tom

 

buy one of those headlight repair kits then either get the clear vinyl or spray the lense with clear paint to protect it

 

Wll sorry to say you wold be able to fix the pits but to get rid of the scratches and hazyness try some rubbing compound, the only way to getrid of the pits is to buy new lights.

 

wetsanding if you know how to do it

 

Yeah... I posted this up for someone already, but...

Start off with some very fine grit sand paper and wet sand it all the way up until 2000 grit. Then use some rubbing compound and buff the dickens out of it. Then find some plastic polish and buff with that.

The pits your not gunna be able to fill or fix without it being more noticable than the pits already are.

 

Thanks, I will try that this week and maybe take some before/after pics

 

Wetsanding starting from a low grit such as 800 and working your way up to 3000, then use Meguiar's PlastX either by hand or DA polisher. Those headlight could look brand spankin' new.

 

The only problem with wet sanding is the headlights are coated with a anti fog material, so they will turn yellow faster if you sand that off.

 

This is true, but can be prevented by waxing them with the plastic polish/wax everytime the car is waxed.
