Will someone direct me to an older thread for using Bleche White and Simple Green mixture to clear headlights?
Thanks

Must be over 4-5 years old cause Ive not seen that post. Those are basically both APC's so I dont see why either would fix a faded headlight let alone the two of them mixed together.

I screenshoted these Nov 16, 2016. Pretty sure it was from this forum so you might search that thread title.

Must be some very superficial and minimal fading for that trick to work. Given the nature polycarbonate and its diffuse yellowing with UV light, I think you need to use an abrasive to get anywhere with restoration. The degree of fading and thickness of the discoloration will dictate whether you need to sand/wet sand or simply polish to restore.

Thanks Robbo. That's what I was looking for. Actually, I found original post from 2009.
