Headlight + autosol + 10 minutes :)

Recommended Posts

My 370z Passenger headlight was getting a little cloudy so tried some Autosol metal polish rather than buying a kit, only put a small amount on each time to check the cleaning progress, did 3 passes using a small rag (cut up sock 🤣) to apply then polished with a microfibre :) Came up a treat, looks much better now, dunno how long they will last but when i clean the car i'll use whatever  wax/detailer i have to hand to slap on it :)

  • neo changed the title to Headlight + autosol + 10 minutes :)

Have tried Autosol myself & it worked ok. I went onto Autosmart EVO & it did the job too, but my bottle of that has long since expired. I now use 3M & found it corrected the light much quicker. This is something I do every 6 months, so you'll no doubt be doing it again by the end of the year / start of next. Looking good though. Put a bit of hard wearing wax over it.

I was tipped off about this a couple of years and was amazed that it worked so well. The Z didn't need it so I tried it out on our Aygo, which did, and it worked a treat.

I did mine August 2021.

Then I wrapped them with clear PPF.

Over the years a corner of the PPF came off.

You can see how this corner re oxidizes but the wrapped part is still fresh

This is an alternative to 2K lacquer to add back some UV protection.  Not tried myself.  Reviews are mixed, but there is some detail in the reviews suggesting it just needs care in how it's applied.  

 

But PPF seems like a great solution - think I'll try that.
