Cito Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Guys, my RR lights plastics appear a bit cloudy. I guess is just because of the years... I would like to try to polish them anyone of you have experience? I guess I could use the headlights polish, can't I? https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/352549740900?chn=ps Any thoughts?

Mavrik Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I used 2000 grit wet 'n' dry paper (wet, obviously) then cut with Autoglym paint renovator & finally Autoglym super resin polish... You could also try that kit you referred to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 On my old 350Z which suffered quite badly from hazed plastic headlight lenses I used various polishes over the years including Meguiars NXT metal polish which was recommended to me (and apparently toothpaste and brasso are used by some!), but to be honest I found T-Cut to be as good as any if you are doing it by hand. But the kits with wet and dry sandpaper are supposed to provide extra longevity to the refurb job so would be interested to hear if that is indeed the case from those that have used one!

Just ensure you sand in straight lines & it'll be reet! Edited February 21, 2019 by Mavrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
