well theres some kind of weird residue left on both headlights.......any suggestions please???

the residue looks like this weird thin white layer........something like water spots on cars but just all over the headlight

any suggestions??? i hope someone gets what im saying

 

Does it look cloudy?

Without seeing pics I could only suggest using clay as it may just be some nasty waterspotting.

Autogeek also sells some products that remove the haze:

It's a polish for the plastic casing, but I would go that route as the last option.

 

i have meguiars plastx and it works pretty well. give it a shot, if not, you can always wet sand them...

 

3M also makes a plastic polish which you can get at CarQuest. It also works.

 

I just got it on my lights for the first time this week after washing. I scrubed them down first, then went on to washing the car as usual w/out rinsing them (until I got to the washing / rinsing the hood / bumper). Looks like some soap dried in there. Looks like bad water spots but its permeated into the plastic. Going to use some plastic restorer or maybe some regular poorboys 2.5. I buffed compounded right over them when I detailed and they came out sparking clean

 

Mothers Billet Metal Polish also works wonders on plastic!

 

thank you....yes the picture up there is exactly how it looks.....THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!!!

im going to try to use eaither mothers or meguirs

 

Stick with the plastic polish, not the billet polish.
I believe that the billet polish would contain harsher abrasives than the plastic polish.

Jus use a little elbow grease and you will be fine.

Good Luck,
