Misty Headlamps: The Best Cure???

[Darren350]

Guys,

 

My headlights are misty and need a refurb! What's the best technique to use to keep the cloudy haze at bay???

 

Thanks!

[R35LEE]

I use Meguiars Plastx with microfibre or cotton pads

[Darren350]

That's only 7 quid on ebay so will hit the BIN! Thanks mate!

Seriously.... 10mins....micro fibre and some t cut paste. Amazing results.

If you fancy a trip to cheddar ill do it for you tomorrow

I've heard the Megs kit with the drill attachments is one of the best ways to fix this problem.

And after the PlastX treatment, use some GTechnic C4.

Is chemically bonds with the bare plastic and provides UV protection and lasts up to two years

They easy part is cleaning them, the difficult part is sealing them afterwards otherwise all you're Hardwork disappears rapidly as the fogging returns

Seems quite expensive, might try this:

A little goes a loooong way with this stuff. And don't just do headlights, do any exposed plastic.

Black plastic under wing mirrors, plastic sill plates, engine bay plastics, B-pillar plastics, etc.

Good find! this was always a problem on my old 350!

C4 is the same stuff as C1 and C5, so it will also do bodywork and wheels too. Basically every exterior surface on the car except glass.

Just my luck, the only gtechnic product I have left is the glass one ( not gtechnic fan, overpriced and over hyped imo )

I must admit the glass stuff hasn't been as good as it's made out to be.
