Guest bigdave77 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 As a newbie I have just bought an imported supra n/a (still I will work up to tt in time!) anyway one of the things that let it down was the really dull looking headlights... i'll cut to the chase, there are some great guides on here on how to disassemble and clean using different products, but before you get the headlights out and start heating up your oven, try a tube of G3 rubbing compound on the outside of the lenses because mine looked absolutely naff and I assumed all the discolouring/dullness came from within, but I was pleasantly surprised - all on the outside! they look fantastic, brand new. G3 is quite expensive for a little tube but well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukeyboy2k Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 sorry but whats a PORTER CABLE ???????? It's a random orbital polisher thingamy. They're only available from the states or ebay, but you're looking at £200 including the transformer etc. I looked into getting one but couldn't justify the expense to myself.

Konrad Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 You can get one in paint shops in UK for 100 pounds + around 20 pounds for proper polishing sponge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Try McGuiars scratch x from Halfrauds - works for me Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I use T-cut on mine too. Once the T-cut has been taken off I give them a buff up with some Autoglym resin polish, they come up really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
