A victim, I mean, VOLUNTEER, stopped by the shop today so I practiced, I mean, WORKED on these headlights with the buffer and a little polish.

RA guys should know who these lights belong to...

Just thought I'd share.

 

nice...wetsand or toothpaste?

 

great job todd thank you for saving his headlight. his car is rotten to look at to a point that i don't like to work on it. but now i am ready to give it the revision approved treatment.

 

3M Ultrafina SE polish and a rotary buffer

Yeah, it looks a little "stock". Need to get it APPROVED

 

damn...you should see my headlights...judd i need your plastx! lol

 

Tried that yesterday on the Revision GS, but I didn't like the results by hand. I guess I'm just too picky (sounds like Samson )

 

just use mothers......

 

nice work
for the guys who have yellowed lights, plastix works just that it takes a lil more then just elbow grease. you will need a powertool of some sort (a drill with attachment works fine) for good results. wetsanding first is usually a good thing to do if your lenses have all kinds of pits, etc. start on the low grits and work up to like 2000.
or jus take em to somebody and have do it for you

 

I know someone that needs some headlight work. how much do you charge?

 

todd, ill show you just how bad mines is

 

just used plastx on my VERY yellow headlights. just put it on a applicator and rubbed it in, could tell a BIG difference already. don't have a buffer, but i'm sure it would like 2-3 times better if i did use one.

Peace out

 

Just had my headlights cleaned this weekend by Todd. Prior to this, I tried all kinds of things including Plastx to no avail. I don't have any before pics but I'm extremely happy with the results!

Wow excellent job for sure. I am a newbie here and my GS400 has the same problems. I thought about finding some nicer used ones, but before I do, I might try this.
Thanks

 

2000 grit sand paper or 3k and then use a polish and a buffer and it looks like new as well. goes pretty quick as well

 

Just dont forget to protect the lens after polishing/wetsanding.
