Nic Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Whilst I have the dash panels off I'm going to take the speedo unit apart to clean and polish the transparent lens. Any suggestions on what to use to polish the lens with, what have people used when they do the headlights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I had some scratches on mine but they buffed out easily with Brasso lint. Looks like new now. I wouldn't fancy doing a large area like the headlights that way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Brasso seems to be great for cleaning plastic. I am going to be refurbing my headlights soon and then selling them when the new ones arrive. think i might use brasso on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Cid Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I use Zaino's plastic cleaner (Z14) on mine and it works great. I have also used Brasso on my uniform nametag and it shines great - never tried it on transparent plastic though... might have to just to see how it compares. //off topic// I use Zaino's paint polish and love it - especially for dark cars!

I just did mine last month, I used rubbing compound , fine T-cut and then Novus plastic polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Halfrauds intensive glass cutter/cleaner does the trick esp. on j-spec headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
