Got a '04 car,not that old but close to 200k miles...don't know the official term but have the plastic complete headlight assembly.
Dang...arm and a leg to replace...just real hazy..not bright any more.(about 75$ each)
Tried 0000 steel wool on a small spot to try and clear it up..no luck.
Any products that polish/clear it?
Uep I Just Watched A Show This Past Weekend And They Were Promoting Maguire's Polish,,uses A Drill And A Buffer ,spread Paste On Lense And Buffer Then Just Let The Drill Do The Rest,,,,,looked Good After They Were Done,,,,
Hey Cook, someone else just went thru this with a F150. Found some real reasonable lenses here: Discount Auto Parts Online - Mercedes Parts, BMW Parts, Volvo Parts, Volkswagen Parts - PartsGeek.com New Auto Body Parts Might be worth a look.
I heard tooth paste works to clear up cloudy head light covers, but never had the problem to try it out.
I was at Oreilly Auto Parts a couple of days ago and noticed they had some stuff for the headlight lenses. Probably all the auto parts stores carry it.
Rubbing compound and a buffer/sheepskin wheel. Be careful and don't get it going too fast or stay in one spot too long, it will melt the plastic. Works great, but it won't last long. I have heard some have had a more lasting effect using a good wax after buffing.
Plastic buffing compound, can get it at auto parts store, it's for PLASTIC, most motorcycle riders use it on their windscreens,,,,,,, I've used it and it works fine
I did see at a place in Sedalia, stero store a block west of 50 & 65 hwy that they have a filler compound that they apply,,,,,, $45 per vehicle.
