Im an idiot! Ruined my headlights
So yes im an idiot, for listening to my stupid cousin. So I have an 07 g35 coupe, and decided to use break fluid to clean my headlights. My cousin said it worked, and i believed him. Anyway they are now 'Hazy" as expected. Is there anyway to sand them down somehow?? If so what kind do i use?? Thanks

In no way will clicking on this link help you but this detailing place in my area (Maryland) completely restored both of my headlights for $45. It took him a mere 10 minutes to get both done.

Guess where I'm going with this is I posted in my regional forums about headlight restoration help and was eventually directed to a reputable place.

Damn, sounds like your cousin set you up! Sucks, but find comfort in knowing we've all been there and made stupid mistakes before......in fact, I made a stupid mistake the other day by trying to buff out some scuff marks from my paint....got the scuff marks out, unfortunatly I took the clear and pearl off too. You may be able to wet sand and then buff/polish the fade out of them....but I'd probably have someone professionally do it.

I actually used Acetone on my brothers van interior plastic panels.
It melted a top layer of the plastic (just like you would expect) and once it dried out panels remain shiny as evah.
Best restoration method ever for non see through, non glass finish plastics.

My previous 06 TL had very hazy headlights when I bought it....tape up your area, wet sand with 1000/1500/3000, hand polish with Plast-X and give them a high speed buff with some type of polish, this method worked perfectly for me. You just need to make sure you either clear them afterward or keep some wax on frequently otherwise I have heard they get hazy again much worse.
