drift_bear Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Since I finished work early I decided to pick up some more cleaning stuff and cloths, I want to keep the new paint looking perfect for alsong as I can! I also picked up the meguiar's headlight restoration kit to see if that will work without splitting lights (to start with), if not then I will split them and do them again! Also got a box from Dane at Callaway motorsports with a windscreen banner and some other little stickers, since I'm going for the clean American look I thought it would be appropriate (plus it helps promote Danes business ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Got finished work early today, so thought I would give my headlights a good refurb (on the outside at least). I used rubbing compound and then the meguiar's headlight kit on them. It's came up pretty good but will wait and see if they start yellowing again, if they are then I will split and do the insides aswell Finished result Edited July 18, 2014 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Wow..what a difference. They're still not 100% perfect yet Luc, Will wait untill the cars ready next week and test fit them to see how they look. It doesn't take long to do, so a quick pop in the oven and then do them proper on both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
