head light cleaning?
I have a EK and the headlights look a bit contaminated. The plastic lens isn't crystal clear anymore... What do you guys use to clean them up a bit? Polish?
thanks,
N.E.S.

Re: head light cleaning? (NES)
you can buy some plastic cleaner and polish at any auto store, ie. autozone, pep boys, etc. or you can use a metal polish as a cleaner and then to coat the scratches, use the plastic polish. i believe mother's or meguiar's makes it. my ek headlights look much better after the scrubdown! good luck.

I'll summarize though
1.
2. 200grit wet sand
3. buff
4. </TD></TR></TABLE>
200 is rough as **** man. I would'nt put 200 near anything that you would ever like to see out of agian. Try some polishing compound or maybe some 2000 grit sandpaper.

Yeah...my bad...big time...
200 grit will destroy the plastic...I hope nobody did that
2000 grit is definately what I meant.
