yellowing headlights

Post by projectzemx3 »

for those of you who have the stock us headlights that are going yellow, here is what i did.

i had a buffing compound with a extremely light grit in it. it was for clear coats. i polished my headlights and they looked fairly clear. my yellowing wasnt as bad as some peoples.

but yesterday i took them out and sanded them smooth (and also grinded off the annoying headlight adjustment points) i used a rough grit paper at first and finished it with a very light grit paper. then i clear coated them.

they are nice and clear now!!!

i recently got my car detailed and she did an exterior polishing, she also polished the crap out of my headlights (which i wasn't expecting) and their clearer than urs right now, they were really fogging bad, to the point where hi beams didn't do anything
i can ask her what she used if you'd like, or anyone for that matter

Buy Fukken wax. 30 seconds and your done. I was amazed when I saw how fast it worked. Buddy sprayed it on and left it for a few minutes then came back and buffed it for like 10 secs per light. Blamo, shiney lights. Still shiney 3 months later. I heard you can only buy it on the Internet. http://www.fukkenwax.ca/index.php?view=testimonial&t=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
