dazla Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Think i'm going to try and clean up my head lights to get rid of the yellowing, i've done search on what cleaning stuff to use. Brasso, some say T-Cut, others say Megiuar's Scratch-X Which is the best to use and do i just use a rag or is there any light sanding involved.

Brasso, T-Cut and Scratch-X all do pretty much the same thing. I went with scratch-x as its designed for this kind of application. If you want to do it right you will need to take the lenses out so that you can do the inside. I would recommend using some fine grit sandpaper lubricated (1500-2000 grit) just to get a bit of a cut. From there you move onto your polishes, you would probably need a polisher to do a decent job though. You would be there forever by hand.

Theres no way i'm attempting to do the insides, thats to technical for me. I'll just try the fronts first. When you say lubricated, just water will do right?
