    Plastic Headlight Lenses

    I have a friend with a 2003 Mustang. His plastic headlight lenses look terrible. They look very milky and foggy. is there anyway of cleaning these up, or does he have to buy new ones ?

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Plastic Headlight Lenses

    Look at the search results CEE DOG posted. You can probably get them to like new condition. There are ton's of options, all posted in those search results.

    Personally, I have only used the 3M kit, and like it very well. (Aside from just polishing lights that aren't as bad out).

    Not sure why that search link isn't working now. Here is one directly to a post from Meghan. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...storation.html

    There is also a wolfgang kit I saw she posted about. Do a search for cloudy headlights or headlight restoration.

    Good luck

    Wolfgang and Diamonite have kits as well as Megs and 3M I believe. I use Plexus or DP Plex All on headlamps/taillamps since new to avoid this. Money well spent !

    I like to use the Diamondite products for polishing out headlight lenses. Clear Plastic Restorer, Clear Plastic Enhancer & Clear Plastic Liquid Armor. These are the best products that I have tried.

    Wet sanding and compounding works but start with the least aggressive product and grit until finding the one that is needed.
