ShamelessTT Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Rotary polisher FTW (1500 - 2000 rpm), saves all the hard work, 5-10 minutes and your done. I did this on my run abouts plastic lights using some G3 compound (BE CAREFUL to not rotary your paint work tho!! G3 is harsh and only for fresh or thick new paint) and it worked a treat. (My advice mask out your paint work, before you even begin!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Had a go on mine last night, halfords rubbing compound is the way forward very good results HF rubbing compound is also rebadged G3 i think.....its smells exactly the same in my experience, HF is more expensive tho for less.

ShamelessTT Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 farecla g6/g3 compound, and lots of elbow grease/machine polishing....gets rid of pretty much all the yellowing, wipe down and laquer! Comes out better than glass...and its also protected - saves you from having to do your headlights every year. Plast-x didnt really work for me, didnt have enough cut +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My advice mask out your paint work, before you even begin!) Yeah take the lights out (it is only 3 bolts and dont need the bumper off!) Get the polisher onto it, it will only take a few minutes and remember to keep the polishing head damp so you dont heat it up too much.
