Cloudy headlights ??

[TRCM]

I just came across this the other day.



I have the 3M polish & cleaner that is supposed to remove the cloudiness from the plastic headlights lenses. it does a good job (cost 20 bucks for both bottles tho).



BUT...



Wenol metal polish (the red tube) does an AWESOME job ! It made the headlights on my car look almost brand new, easily did the job twice as good as the 3M stuff, and it costs 1/3 the money (8 bucks for a 4 oz tube)!!



Summit sells it, as I know I haven't seen it local.



Less than 5 minutes of work with a paper towel and a couple of dabs of polish the size of a dime, and the headlights now pass inspection with flying colors.



just a tip I felt like passing on

I use toothpaste on mine. Both the metal polish and the toothpaste have a very fine compound in them, that's what makes them work. Or use a jewelers rouge compound, use a medium compound first if they are really bad.

i hit mine with a the same rotary buffer/wool bonnet and compound i buff a cars paint with, fairly fine compound like you would use during the last polishing does the trick quick and easy, also polishes interior wood console trim and lens on my flashlight and plastic crystal on my watch well

When I first bought my truck I installed 3M headlight protection film. To this day headlights look like new. My neighbor's truck of the same year without the product looks like it's got cataracts. :{

about 5 minutes a side with a buffer and they are good to go, don't even need to remove them from the truck
