Hello,

I was cleaning the side of my turn signal lights and used rubbing alcohol, which now made the plastic lights cloudy instead of clear...how do I restore the clear plastic, not this cloudiness?

Thanks,
Jason

 

Any polish/wax should do.

 

Get a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX from your local Autozone, Advance Auto Parts or Pep Boys. Best product to clean off the cloudiness, hazing or yellowing from your headlights.

 

Another vote for PlastX. Some people even go so far as to sand down the lights to remove discoloration and also nicks then finish it off with PlastX.

 

The Bluemagic brand plastic and plexiglas cleaner also provides good results; if the Meguiar's is not available.

 

I will let you guys know how it goes. Apparently the undiluted rubbing alcohol "burned" the plastic. Then I tried flushing it with water, put some meguiars paint cleaner, polish, then tried wax, all metal polish, and it looks WHITE, while it used to be clear.

A new corner light is $75!!

I'll try plastx first...

 

If you do decide in the future to use rubbing alcohol, make sure it is Isopropyl. It is still a great cleaner, but will not hurt any exterior surfaces made of plastic.
