markrzs Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Very impressive fella, saves alot of time not cooking them ! Welldone ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffers Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I tried this too - I was scared to death about what the T-Cut might do to them but they came up a treat! Back light covers too - as they were looking a bit "grainy" and not quite as transparent as I'd of liked - also nice and clear now! Yours look great too!

Wazz72 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 For about 2 weeks, you need to put some sort of sealent or polish on them, but im not sure which one, I clean mine with tcut about once a month.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I'm doing this right now, only the hard way as I've got condensation, so might as well do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hey good thread, thought I might as well give it a go, nothing to loose as if it didn't work I can still take them appart and clean / reseal. Did the front and back, wow what a difference! gone from misty to clear! I used some bodyshop cuttting compound, at the start they felt rough, after a while they were all smooth. Still got a bit of discolouration in one of the front headlights, but it's much less concerning now, just doing one at my leasure is much better than having two to do urgently, thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Novus and Plexus That that stuff i used Novus 1-2-3 is good stuff and an electric polisher helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
