Headlight lense polishing

Featured Replies

I have a very nice set of headlight lenses but they have a lot of small scratches.  Does anyone have any expierence with polishing these guys?

I used it on a 1968 datsun sign worth as much as your covers and many other things works great. Image result for meguiar's clear plastic polish

+1 on the Meguiar's product. I used # 17 followed by #10 on my tail light and front turn signal lenses, with good results.

What did you use to apply the product?  I.E. Just by hand?

I did it by hand using microfibre cloths to polish with, and did a couple of applications of each product. It does a good job with haze and micro scratches, deeper scratches become a little less evident.  Here's a picture of the result.

Nice, I have a set of turn signals that also need some love.

The Meguiars worked really well.  I applied it with my small air driven buffer.  Thanks for the tip!
