Headlight Fog

[cnovalles73]

Somewhere down the road I plan to upgrade my headlights to....something aftermarket, I really don't know yet. Til then the stock ones are pretty well fogged up/oxidized and I want to clean them up. I've seen a bunch of different kits and pastes to restore the lenses and wonder if anyone has tried any of them and give me some recommendations. Some are waymore expensive than others and don't want to spend an afternoon dislocating my shoulder trying to clean it up with the wrong one if there's one out there that helps me do it in half the time.

I've heard the Mothers powerball works and its used on a drill. Less elbow grease.

A comparison I did a couple years ago - there are many more options now, but maybe this will help. http://www.flickr.com/photos/texastams/4020845472/in/set-72157622606745664

The best stuff I have found is "3M Perfect-It". It has a few different grades, so, get either the Perfect-It II or the Perfect-It III (Grade 2). A terry cloth towel, a little bit of elbow grease and the lenses will look like new. After that, get your hands on a little bit of car polish and put a coat of wax on your headlights and you will be golden for a year plus.

Now, the trick is finding the Perfect-It. The only place I have been able to find it is at a place that sells automotive paints in the quart/gallon cans. So, you will have to look around for a dedicated automotive paint store. Your local auto parts store will more than likely not carry it unless they have a big paint area. Even then...... So, that is the down side to this product. But the upside is that it works on everything. Paint, check. Chrome, check. Glass, check. Headlights, check.

i used a small high speed buffer and mothers aluminum polish when i did mine on the truck and on the sho and it took the yellowing and scratches out made them look crystal clear again.
