hey i was wondering where i can get a good headlight cleaner to wipe off the dinged look

 

I have tried several, most of them work. However, I had to use my power buffer to get them to really make a noticeable difference.

 

Plasti X

 

+1^^^ combined w/ buffer

 

my next purchase for sure will be a small/medium sized buffer because im starting to get some headlight haze and it will help with my general detailing of my car. i need to do a search now for the best one.......

 

i use a portercable 7424. very easy to use! dont get those cheapo buffers out there! your just gonna waste your money

detailedimage is selling it at a very good price

also i think they are running a special till labor day 20% off. get the buffer and some pads

 

Do you recommend a specific pad for this combo? I've tried plastx with the buffer and didn't see better results then doing it by hand.

 

i used a 4" yellow cutting pad (w/ Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer), followed by a 4" orange cutting pad (w/ Diamondite Clear Plastic Restorer) with my 7424. haze is gone, looks new.

you don't have to do all those steps though, i've read people just using a orange cutting pad w/Mezerna Super Intensive Polish and works just as well.

 

thanks man. this is the site i was on. i'm looking to spend about 150.00 and wanted to get the most for the money with the 7424.

 

+1 on this^^

me personally i used the orange cutting pad and plast x
you have to do it more than once to see better results coz the haze is a PAIN to remove. wash the headlights first before buffing. if you like you can use warm water to hopefully soften the stuff a bit

 

Thanks for the advice guys...I'll give it a try over the weekend.

 

a friend of mine told me he there is spray on solutions is this true?

 

I have seen some of this stuff, it sprays on and "self levels" and fills in the uneven places. BULL SH*T! I saw a car was that was "Fixing Ugly Headlights" and it looks like crap. It works in that it transfered more light but it was ugly.

 

Brasso. <--- You'll be suprised.

 

Compound it with the PC using a medium pad and heavier cutting polish moving to lighter pad and polish.

Without a PC use plastix or equivalent.
