Manic Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Most people tend to use T Cut or similar to clean up the outside however if its the inside your talking about try a search on headlights to reveal methods for cleaning inside of lights Oh and nice Soop by the way Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npotts Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi Redflash I had the same problem with my car mate and at the weekend tried T-cut like Matt says. It actually worked really well, although may need another go at the weekend. It definately cleans them up..... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 What did you reseal them with, Paul? When I did my old j-spec ones I just reused the mastic stuff but they steamed up the next time I washed the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Try Meguiers plastex (I think, their plastic cleaner / scratch remover) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Bens747 Sorry just wondered what kit that is on your Supra, its bloomin lovely(gimme gimme gimme ) I mean the full kit, front valence, sides, rear. I not really a fan of kits but that one hits the spot Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Without sounding stupid guys ..... What causes them to turn brown in the first place? Variable Weather conditions in the UK harsher apparently. That's why UK got glass? Most plastic goes like this overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Redflash, I didnt take them out, just took care around them. Maybe cover up surrounding bodywork with towels or something while you tcut. The bonnet is Abflug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Variable Weather conditions in the UK harsher apparently. That's why UK got glass? Most plastic goes like this overtime. think the JDM market got plastic as glass was not alowed for safety reasons, glass lamps are no longer alowed in the uk on new cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Don't let the sides touch the oven *grin*, leaves burn marks.... lesson 1 Use meguairs plastic polish, works well.... lesson 2 Get some silicon sealer from B&Q.... lesson 3 Colour code the lights while you have got them apart.... lesson 4 Erm... all said and done, I only put them back in for a week and then got a great deal on a set of uk glass ones *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't a clue about the back end unless someone on here can put some idea's as to what it might be on the back end of me Soop ........ The exhaust are a bit unusual aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
