GM Cadillac HEADLIGHT RESTORATION / Cleaning
 
I was wondering on how to get rid of that grim and crap off my headlights, i tried toothpaste,
window cleaner, nothing. It's so caked on there and my lights aren't as bright and look gross.

Help me out please.

plastic lens?

oh no - no toothpaste, it often has pumice or similar grinder matl,
scratches plastic.

you can buff and polish with compounds for plastic, watch repair guys use it,
i also remember using a 3M product also - will have to get back to you on
this one, cant remember exact name.

if it is internal vapor haze, long long swab sticks dipped with .... ? i'l have to get back on this one, cant remember .

I have a product called LensRite and it works very well. It comes in a tube like a toothpaste tube. I bought it at a auto flea market. It took off all of thecloudy oixidation on both my Cadillac and GMCand now the headlights are bright and clean. www.wheelslogic.com Tel. 519-661-9126
