well if been hearing a lot of trash on my projectors and want to go back to stock but my headlights are full of that crap on the outside of them does any one know how to clean this stuff off any usefull suggestions will help thanks

 

You can buff them out or what I do is get some rubbing compound and clean the outer lens then wax them.comes out looking real good.

 

i heard alot of ppl using wet sand paper, don't remember the exact process though.

you can also buy plastic polish like meguiars plasticx or mothers.

 

1)!Wet sand with 2000 grit wet sanding paper
2) Buff with mothers aluminum and mag wheel polish
3) Buff to finish with mothers plastic polish
4) Wax to protect
5) Get drunk

 

I used some stuff that came in a small white bottle with a blue cap that i got at autozone

i think it was a plastic polish or something.. it worked fairly well.

I have heard rumors about using:
-toothpaste
-rc car gas
-peanut butter

but i have not tried any of those three

 

yea, meguiars come in white bottle but i think the cap is black, maybe its blue. mothers is red.

it also depends on how junky your lights are.

 

toothpaste works just as good as those plastic polishes

it depends on how bad ur headlights are
I had to use a polisher with rubbing compound on mine

 

good **** guys i like all of the optoins im getting and i think ill take ekdreamin and get my ops 24 pak of 24"s in the fridge

 

they have a little kit at pepboys! its like 7-12 buccs... it comes with assortment of high grit sandpaper depending on how bad the headlights are and plastic polisher stuff.

no prob, bought that kit , and it was super easy to use... and cheaper then buying everything individually

 

well i just started cleaning my lights with toothpaste and the heavy spots came off but not all then i hit it with steel woll and 250 sand paper and they didint come out clean do u think i can still pick up that kit and it will work i tryed buffing it out with some wax and a cloth but didint work

 

I used that meguairs plasticx stuff. Supposed to clean plastic and restore its clarity. It did make it a bit better, but along the top of each headlight (1996 Civic) there is still some kind of film, like dirt or something.

 

from what i heard, it will come back but you just gotta keep on working on it.

is the top of your headlight rough like the sun melted the plastic?

my headlight?
I don't think it is melted because if you scratch at it forever with your nail it will come off a bit. But I have too look at it more closely, I have a feeling fine sand paper might work on it.
