hoff Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Dull or going yellow? Plastic head lights tend to go yellow after a while but they can be refurbed though. Wait a sec and I'll find a link to GZAEROJON who does them......here it is: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=60528 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Solvol Autosol from Halfrauds brought mine back to an acceptable standard bud. I take you mean they've yellowed with age. J spec plastic lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiten55 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i used meguiares plast x - amazing stuff, few coats by hand and you'll be amazed - check out my garage for a before and after pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) I tought Autosol is for metal polishing. I would recomend G3 from Farecla - it's strong enough to get rid of "dullness" and small scratches/spiderwebs. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Farecla-G3-Rubbing-Compound-400-grams_W0QQitemZ330232617575QQihZ014QQcategoryZ30923QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Use mists of water during rubbing headlights, do not let it to be completely dry, otherwise you will get more scratches Edit: ...or if you want to be on a safe side, use PlastX Hiten is recommending - it's more delicate Edited May 4, 2008 by Konrad (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
