it looks like my headlights r strained from the inside...does anyone know a good way to clean them so that they are nice and clear???

 

if the stain is on the outside, you can wet sand with 1500-2000 grit and then polish with some kind of plastic polish. i used meguire's plastix. how did you get the stain on the inside? did you clear your headlights? stain might just look like it's on the inside tho. try the wet sand and polish first.

 

i dunno how it got in the inside...i mean your right it might look like the inside but really be the outside. i cleared them and made them into black housing. but the healights had this issue even before that. How exactly do you wet sand LOL. Is it the same as sanding something down just have it wet lol????

which specific one do u want me to look up? i only see one dat does show how to do it.

 

Yes, There's 2 posts on cleaning of dulling headlights.

 

meguiars plastx looks like it might so the trick...thanks

 

go to auto zone or advance auto parts, and buy "Crystal view" its a whole kit with the sand paper, and the chemicals needed to fix your headlights...i hated the idea of walking up to the counter with a package of each type of sand paper, and then buy the whole bottle of plastix, when i only needed a little bit...this kit has EVERYTHING, and its 20 dollars, you cant beat it, good luck.

 

same thing happened to me dude i thought it was on the inside and i was buggin out. Used that Plastix stuff just to see and man they look like new. Thats stuff is gold

 

did u wetsand it? or just used the plastix.

 

thanks man!!! ima try it most likely today...ill take pics

 

i just used plastix i didnt wanna wetsand if i didnt have to. Almost all of it came right off some of it needed to be scrubbed but it all came off. Maybe u only needed to wetsand in if its really bad idk

 

I just did mine the other day and I wetsanded for 10 min at each of these grits 800,1000,1500 alternating direction b/t grit. Then buffed out with PlasticX. Came out well, but could have been better if I went up to 2000 and then 2500 grit IMO. They were very rough though. If you do wetsand do not press hard, just let the sandpaper do the work, and wet often. Oh, also tape off the fender and bumper cause you will not want to deal with the paint being sanded

 

i just did mine the other day....it took alot of elbow greese to shine the headlights up real nice..ALOT
