i recently aquired a new front end for my integra so i took off the old front end and noticed how hazy my headlights were ... i got to thinking how i could clear them up and this is what i did, and they look brand f'n new ....

1st i sprayed bleach on them and let them sit for 30 seconds then wiped em down to get the dirt off ...

2nd ( for all you Nitro RC people ) i took the Nitro fuel and put it on a rag and started buffing, this stuff is sooo strong it pulled ALLL the yellow haze right out of the lenses, however leaves a small film ...

and lastly, to remove that small film, i used mineral spirits, then wiped them with a dry cloth and it looks like i have brand new headlights, i wish i would have taken a picture...

Just thought this might help some people that want to rid their headlights of the haze w/o using rubbing compound and scratching them.

 

Thats what plastic polish does.

With a lot less work.

 

hahaha.

it's no fun if you don't work hard at it though.

 

they haze becouse they are pitted
you just cleaned the pits out
they will haze back up in a month or two.
I used to clean mine every third month or so but man does it make a differance.

 

Yeah....they'll haze back up...sorry. I used a super fine grit sandpaper on my S2000 lights followed by quite a bit of plastic polish...worked even better than your method.

 

mothers aluminum polish works well believe it or not

 

i just used what i had around the house ... didnt go out and buy anything special , and im more than happy

 

i head toothpaste works well too

 

i 2nd that and my 95-96 get i think one of the worst yellow hazes ever, without the polish i wouldnt be able to see anything

 

didnt work on my car at all, im gonna try ex's method right now,dont have nitro fuel, but i have mineral spirtis and bleach.....
