meguires headlight restore kit

[Pete87]

So as we all know the headlights go cloudy mine were not too bad but still annoyed me so I got a kit in halfords and gave it ago. I need to do the Mrs MR2 so thought I'd try it on mine first. It took abit of time but end results were really good about an hour to do both headlights. Definitely worth the £22 I spent on it.

Sorry I forgot to get before pictures but here is after pics. They were cloudy at the top of the lights.

you should put some wax on the lights now it will shine them up even more and stop any dirt/sun affecting them and make the lights shinier for longer

 

good job though

[Pete87]

Yeh I will do thanks. Was waxing the car and it started raining lol.

Nice Job..

 

Its good stuff Meguires. As brett said seal it now.

I got some of this and on our old Clio it worked a treat. However, on our Scooby it made no difference. I spent an hour on one headlight and it did nothing. Even tried the toothpaste method after and still no difference. Any other tips or is it a case of new headlights?

Cutting compound and a rotary or you could even try wet sanding if you're feeling adventurous

Only tips was after the first go on the drivers headlight there were still marks so I did it again, and spent alot of time going over them with the two finer bits of same paper.

Were they cloudy on the inside to begin with?

[Pete87]

No the outside it won't help if it's inside the light unfortunately.

I did mine a couple of years ago using 2500grit wet n dry then gave them a wax and to complete the job I used a marine grade UV protectant clear urethane varnish just to give them that extra protection. They still look the dogs dangly bits.

Personally I used GTechnic C4 to seal the lights, works great.

Also to cut down on the time factor, I used my DA polisher to do the lights.

First used wet&dry 1200 grit, followed by 2000 grit, then DA polisher for rubbing compound, the DA again for the PlastRX, then seal with C4. Total time was 25 mins for both headlights
