Its not for my car, but its for my sisters Sable. the headlights are kinda yellow and she doesn't like 'em. i know this has been over before but i tried searching but i couldn't find anything on it. can it be polished/buffed out or what? thanks.

I had this same problemon my teg... it was used n abused by the previous owner and my headlights weren't as clear and they were kinda yellow. My friend showed me how to clear them up.

Get a soft cloth, something that won't scuff up the surface of the lens... then get 3m rubbing compound and put a little bit on the rag. and apply as if waxing and then after letting sit for a couple secs.. buff off with another cloth, or a different section. Then use any sort of polish to make it more shiny. One thing tho... u need to keep the rag a little damp so moisten it very slightly with some water or as i did with a little spit. it might sound gross but werked great for me. hahah... and even more so on my friends talon

BTW Do a test portion in a small corner first to see how well it comes out. If say ur lens were made of something more sensitive and it got damaged by teh rubbing ocmpound or something u wouldn't want the whole thing coverd w/ it.

Meguires Plastic Polish. Best ever.

 

Nail Varnish Remover. DON"T GET ON PAINT

 

I used Metal polish (BRASSO, NEVERDULL etc. found at hardware stores) A can that has the cotton in it. Just rub in circles a lot of times. Then Wipe off and use a plastic polish.

 

haha... i believe that toothpaste thing... toothpaste werks real well at cleanin a lot of stuff.

 

toothpaste is a good ceiling filler if you have a hole from a hook or something.

 

Yeah sabels/tauruses get yellow lenses very badly, my SHO need cleaning as well.
