so, I had some body work done on my car and the shop replaced the driver side headlight and it's nice and new. but now I have a pretty ugly passenger headlight. any tips or tricks to get rid of the haze? thanks!

 

get that meguirs stuff

 

PLAST X works like charm. it'll be better if you wet sand it, buff it then plast x it.

 

if it's really mild, even toothpaste works well to remove some haze.

but as silverbullet415 said, if it's nasty, you'll need to step up to something more "industrial strength" and get a chemical based one like the meguiars.

$20 at Amazon, unless you want to stop by your local car shop...

edit...
just saw the reviews about Meguiar's PlastX...for $8 on Amazon for the bottle only...it looks like a winner! the $20 kit mentioned above has the towels and sponges included...so it might be overkill.

 

oOOooo, I've got something better.... get the 3m headlight restoration kit. It's only $20 but if you think about it, they just give you a bunch of sandpaper and a small packet of wax. But trust me, this thing works! I just used it on my gf's car and the lenses look like brand new, her car is a 96 so you know it's got some issues. Here's a link to the video on youtube on how to do it.

the mquires plastic x works perfectly

it comes witht he drill attachment and a microfiber cloth and it really takes the ****tiest headlights and makes them look brand new

 

Lucky for me GC's have glass headlights . I have used Plastic X before on my cousins 94 Legacy and on my MR2's tail lights. It worked well at first, but for me the lights got foggy again after only a few weeks. And I spent like 15 minutes per light using the meguiers foam pad to buff it. Maybe I did something wrong?

 

So I got the same problem, don't know how bad mine is but here's some pics, lemme know if the meguires stuff is good or if I need some thing more industrial, thanks!

 

I tried both of the Meguires products, one is a plastic restoritive...after a good rain they yellow up again, or at least mine did...mine look terrible, as bad as anyone elses I've seen.

I guess I need to try the sandpaper...but the wax will work only until it gets worn off, like the plastic X that I used before.

 

Yup...tooth paste works quite well. If it doesn't, THEN buy the PlasticX, etc. stuff.
