Cloudy headlights

[Bazrazmataz05]

Hi

Just collected my car at last around 2 hours ago there are some obvious little jobs and little rattles that will need ironing out over the coming months.

One thing i noticed is that the headlights seem a little cloudy ! if u understand my what im trying to say.

Is this easy to clean up ??

Good guide but what are the products like that we have in the uk and is the use of that big electric buffer thing required i have no idea where id get one of those.

I get the feeling i would totally stuff the headlights up if i did this do many people manage it sucessfully

Well im in exactly the same siutation as you but mine arent to dirty so i didnt bother! Cant be that hard & i wouldnt think you'd need the buffer just a cloth and a bit of elbow grease.. Sure you can get all the stuff from Halfords etc http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I used that guide, got the novus polish off ebay and did it by hand, worked ok

I had a bit of water in one of mine, so I took it off, managed to get it apart (I used hairdryer, elbow grease and a lot of time) and decided to spray a little section. Needless to say, one side looks different to the next, but actually, I will be taking them both off soon and 'upgrading' the inners to black.

All I need is a a good 7/8 hours and courage to get past the UK alarm!
