Linus27 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've used toothpaste before and a very thick woollen walking sock and it worked perfectly. I now have the Meguiars kit and it's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 T cut works every time. Used it on mine and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEMAN Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I used MER on my cloudy headlights and they came up a treat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwize Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hmmmm, I'm still thinking the clouding is inside the headlight... I've gone through the sanding steps with the Mag kit, haven't buffed it up yet but still looks exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You haven't lived until you've smelled I mean used the Swissvax restorer. Cost a fair penny for the tiny bottles though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What I would say is that, if you eventually find it is on the inside of the headlight, it's bad news. The headlight plastic inside has a UV coating on it that if you rub will come off and it will look truly terrible. I'd advise against cleaning them on the inside.

Briggsybriggs1 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Might try find a specialist in my area :/just drive in to a local body works place and they will just buff it up for you, if they can't fix it no one can :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This is true, if they take a machine polisher to it, it'll end up looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yep, I've used toothpaste as well, it does a pretty good job (stinks though!). But I just use the rotary polisher and any polish pretty much will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-350z Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What about 1200-1500 grit wet and dry? Way too course! You need far finer, such as detailing paper at around 4000 grit. Even then you might still need to polish it after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren350 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 On my old Nissan Skyline the lacquer went cloudy as hell so I had to sand the yellowy crap off and then polish them up. Looked great after! With my Zed I just use Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 and that seems to have done nicely. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
