I got this tip frm a friend.... I went to kragen/oreily auto parts, in the wax section... Get "TR-3", restores oxidized finishes. It works extremely well on paint and plastic headlights to get rid of the fog, brought mine bak up to 98% new and clear... And it only coated $7. Which is hard to use the whole bottle, I still got plenty left. I re-clear my headlights once a month to keep them close to new. I could take a pic but don't kno how to put it on the forum thru my phone (dont have a pc at the moment). Or I could show those that come at next meet on Monday. |

I prefer to sand. Also, you wouldn't have to do that every month if you got rid of the oxidation and treated the plastic with a coat to protect it from further exposure. The reason headlights oxidize is they are coated from the factory with a sealant like clearcoat over paint. Once it wears down, the elements start to wreak havoc on the material. |

Ya tru... This stuff gets rid of oxidation and protects it frm further oxidation... I'll show u what I got on Monday, it's good stuff... Though, it works best in the sun because the product has to dry into the plastic to create a bond, before buffing off... I never tried sanding... This worked perfect on my lights.... If u can see how clear they are on my avatar pic |
