dandan Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi Chaps, I need a bit of quick advice regarding the jap headlamp lenses. Got the lights stripped apart, inner piece sprayed and sorted but having a bit of trouble with the actual clear plastic/polycarbonate lenses. They have a “murky” almost greenish haze on them and basically look cr@p. Tried some T-Cut and Blue Neilsons on there which helped but they’re by no means sparkling. What is the best product/method to use to get these back to a nice clear sparkle?? Please hit me with some ideas asap…….thanks all Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 i think it's in the technical section somewhere...a full step by step "method" of how to do it from start to finish. i took my airbox out to make life easier but i don't think it's totally necessary- i was having a good look round under the bonnet anyway so didn't mind.

Terminator Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 There are a few products that will work if use by hand , but they all require effort ands patience. I used Brasso metal polish wadding "Duraglit" on the inside and outside of the plastic. Worth it in the end and a lot cheaper than UK lamps.
