jackso11 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have refurbed my headlights and they look good, but when I look at others on here it seems like I should be able to get the lens clearer than I can. I have used 2000 wet and dry, then polished it up with a drill/pulishing head and autosol, then buffed it with windowleen and a soft cloth. Looks good but not quite as clear as some..... any tips?

themodifiedkid Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) I have refurbed my headlights and they look good, but when I look at others on here it seems like I should be able to get the lens clearer than I can. I have used 2000 wet and dry, then polished it up with a drill/pulishing head and autosol, then buffed it with windowleen and a soft cloth. Looks good but not quite as clear as some..... any tips? It maybe because you haven't gone deep enough (not taken enough of the tarnished plastic off) When doing numerous headlights i started with 800g, then 1200g, then 1500g. Then compound with g3 paste, then g10 using a polishing machine then polish up. This is the expert advice i got from the supra guru dave (supraloopy) This should now give you crystal clear lenses Edited November 1, 2009 by themodifiedkid (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Got mine done at the bodyshop when they finished painting the car. I think the G3 paste is the key. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 G3 is far to coarse.... thats why ive stopped it and switched over to the 3m gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I use lensclear (made from spanish mountain goat spit and brussel sprouts) Its quite hard to get hold of. When that runs out I use 800g 1200g 3000 pads and g6 then 3m finesse and finish off with plastX then wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
