Headlight oxidation

[Fiercetimbo17 10+ year member]

My head lights have alot of buildup on them, some door to door lady came by with some super cleaner, she demonstrated on my passenger headlight and it really did clean the shit out it. Now my pass side is brighter than my driver side, so i wanna clean my other one as well as my brights.

What can i use to clean the oxidation? I tried simple green but thats it.

you can get shit at the parts store, basically though all it is is a wetsand then a polish buff, you can do it yourself, just get some fine grit snadpaper, wet sand them, and get a good polish

Plast-X, 2000 grit sand paper, plenty of water (KEEP IT WET)

Go at it all day till your arms are sore, you'll see a big difference. I'd tape up the edge of your body paint though, I had a friend scratch the shit out of his car.

Awesome thanks for all the help, I have a air powered buffer should I use that?

I also tried *** i forgot to say that, didnt work but all the milfs in my neighborhood got all hot and bothered when they saw me fapping on my headlights.

you can buff them it will work just don't burn the paint and use a very fine compound. f*ck hand sanding.

1) No i wouldn't, You can burn through plastic if you aren't careful with those things. If you want, go over it with an electric orbital buffer afterwards with some polish, then wax it.

2) um //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

The thing with wetsanding and polishing, it only lasts for a few months. I've done it twice on mine. Easiest way is to just get new headlights and when you do get some of that Lamin-X clear headlight protective tint and it won't happen again. Also, if you do the sanding just remove the headights so you don't worry about scratching the car. Shouldn't be that hard to remove them...
