My headlight lenses (clear covers) on my 54 plate roadster are going very cloudy at the top section. can anyone suggest a cleaner that really works or a source for replacements , if this is possible

Thanks

 

Buy 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System 39008 at Advance Auto Parts

this stuff worked awesome! Another member MurderedXf recommended it!

 

Thanks for such a quick answer. Unfortunately though it seems this is only available in the States. Anyone in the UK have a solution?

 

mine are the same, the thing is; what has made them go like this anyone know?

 

It seems as though it is a poor formulation of UV inhibitors in the plastic itself.

As for repairing it yourself, Wet sanding by hand or machine and then a final plastic polish work great.

Do some more searches on the "Lighting..." forum and you 'll get your answers X10.

 

I believe it is a poor clearcoat causing the problem.

Once you are able to get the clearcoat off the lens, the rest is just a matter of sanding it smooth again. I recommend 3M as well, but other brands will work with good results.

Mine are the same. I waxed on them the other day. OK for now.

I have just received the 3M kit through the post as this is highly recommended on this forum.Bought off ebay for £17.99 and delivered within a week from the US.I was going to use it this weekend but have just bought some redstuff brake pads and discs so this is getting priority....

 

First of all "foxy" .... put your location in your profile so we "across the pond" and over there, will know, and possibly lead you correctly. I know you posted in the UK section, but a lot of people don't really look there. LOL Please ... no disrespect intended....
Secondly .... if you're anywhere near Southhampton, get together with shedman, and maybe kill 2 birds with one stone. Just my dos centavos ......

 

I used T Cut worked a treat
