Headlight restore?..

[88sam88]

Hi,

 

I read that using Meg's polish is useful to restore the clarity of headlights for zeds ..

 

Wondering if anyone else uses this or do others use a specific kit, etc?

Does it come with any UV Protectant to apply after you've used the restorer?

No it doesn't, but a coat of GTechnic C4 will do

Meg polish will only work if they aren't that bad, if they are cloudy and yellow then you will need ot get a headlight kit

Loads of different (and interesting) ways of doing this - I was watching the videos on YouTube the oother day.

 

Many use toothpaste, some use sandpaper followed by a coat of lacquer, others just use abrasive polish/cutting compound finished with a coat of wax.

 

Or you can buy the stuff suggested above

I did something similar but I did it by hand!

I did use megs restore kit - with that drill bit it made it really easy and done a great job!

"Clear-carbon" stuff is works really well as UV sealant as well

Just out of interest, I've seen those headlight restore kits such as turtle wax and they use sandpaper....

would this now scratch up the headlights? :/

I just machine polished mine and they came up nicely. Forgotten what I used now but it was just car polish

yes it will, and that's exactly the point. You can use 2000 grit and then rubbing compound and then the restore kit if headlamps are seriously clouded up

^^ that!

When I used it on my headlights - I didn't use sand paper provided as mine serpents to bad! But mystery came and hid headlights were pretty bad, so we used sandpaper and then polished it - came out great

I used megs metal polish and it worked a treat. I do need something to seal it afterwards tho.

I used brasso then toothpaste... Ghetto I know but it worked a treat

 

lights were undriveable at night when I first got my Z

 

afterwards they werent just better, they were like new

 

all you need is something abrasive to take the crap off the top of the plastic and make it smooth

really is as simple as that
