ddcboyle Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Got a scuffed looking headlight, faded looking. Got told from someone tcut would fix it. Anyone had same problem or tried this solution? I know every chav in the world says tcut to any car problem so just wanted to double check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Better off using Meguiars Metal Polysh. Tried and tested method on here for bringing up headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 they also have a plastic polish as well plastx i think its called. if using this method, for best results i reckon a DA would do the best job, althogh doing it by hand can achieve the same finish if not with more elbow grease. other option is wet and dry and finish with something like aG3 polishing compound.

Sam Mcgoo Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 There is better stuff out there for that sort of thing like plastic x etc, I'm sure you'll get some more suggestions from them that know. However, I had some old t-cut in the garage from years back and use it on my lights, it seems to do the trick just fine. When it runs out I'll buy something more suitable for the job but for now it'll do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMIE MOY Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Toothpaste works well +1 I used this on my last zed it did a good job but dont do it in the full sun as it is very hard to get off.......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Or just use fine wet & dry and then rubbing compound if they are really bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adymi16 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 i used the plastic x and it was very easy with great finish afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Okay tried loads of difference gash. Where do you get plastic x from, halfords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Tcut is pretty aggressive did you do it by hand? If that hasn't sorted it then you will probably need to get a DA polisher onto the lights to have any effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
