Re: Cleaning Headlights (acatak)
are they just foggy looking like all old teg headlights?
mine cleaned up real nice with some 3M hand glaze (a microfine paint polish) and a little bit of effort
hope that helps -- i hate seeing something so ugly which is so easily fixed

I wetsanded my headlights with grits from 320 up to 2000 grit, then polished w/ 3M rubbing compound, then finished off w/ some plastic polish. They look real nice now. You should take the bumper off in order to do this.

No, what you need to clean the outer lense on the lights is 3M plastic cleaner and polish. It gives the lights the new crisp look and removes light scratches from the lense. Trust me it works. The only retail place I have seen that carries it is Napa.

Re: Cleaning Headlights (Calavera)
yes -- just use to 3m polish directly on the outside
they're plastic polish also works really well , although i used the hand glaze b/c that is what i had on hand -- it is designed for removing 1500 grit paint swirls after color sanding, so it is very fine

Re: Cleaning Headlights (acatak)
I've actually got small fragments of glass inside one of my lights, i bought the car like that. I assume a little bit of the edge has cracked and fallen in but i can't see any damage from outside. Would i literally have to take off the front bar to remove the lights or are they different on Australian cars?
