How to get the clean/clear look back in your headlights?

[Greddypacked]

Well my headlights on my 2G Eclipse are getting the yellow dirty look and i want to get rid of the filth on the service of my headlights. They arent to bad of shape, but would like to get that clear clean look back. What would i apply to the service to help clean that gook off. Thanks for who helps and reps will be given.

for a quick solution, nevr dull works wonders.

If you can get your hands on a bufer and some compound, works great for me...

sorry i just REALLY read what kind of car its on...nevr dull wont work on that, THAT well. you will have to sand and buff those out..1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper and buffer on it

wet sand the lenses with 1500 and then reclear with a good clear,a pro clear like on car paint. has worked and been on mine for 4 years tail lights too!

make sure you coat it after you're done - otherwise it'll go back to ugly in just a few weeks.

yeah as everyone else has said... 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit and then seal it and you're good to go for a while. you will literally sand the shit off the top of your lens and then you just have to seal the good new finish.

or if your not brave enough drop them off at walmart for about 60 bucks

[Humphrizzle]

looking at that pic makes me want to resand with 2000 then buff.. too many scratches.

def sand with 1500+ grit. 1200 isnt fine enough..

[Humphrizzle]

Thanks, i might just have to try that.


it only works for small hazes.. not fully hazed headlights.. if your lights are pitted and discolored, you will definitely have to sand them down.

Mine are only hazed over, no discoloration yet. Just the foggy look in some places.
