I have read various headlight cleaning methods and all require time and plenty of elbow grease using various grades of wet and dry then a fine polish.
I heard Autosol works well and tried it on headlights that failed a blue slip inspection. initial attempts were a failure using a cloth to clean it then I read it works a lot better if you rub it with bare fingertips. I tried this and in 10 minutes the headlights looked like new. no wet and dry needed. I now have my blue slip and the inspector was impressed seeing I had only been gone about 25 minutes. hope this helps someone

good work,
i have even used hand cleaner as a first cut on really bad lenses. but dont use the coarse stuff with pumice/sand. Meguiars plastic cleaner/polish is good to maintain the shine and clear lenses too.

Best to get a headlight restore kit, as they come with a UV fluid that you apply to the lense after polising to help them from turning milky again.

I have used Wet & Dry with Autosol, 1st attempt was ok by hand polishing....
When I did the next set I buffed the lights using my buff on high speed, Headlight finish was like brand new look....perfect. |
