greygate plastic polish usage
« on: 07 September 2009, 10:13:30 »

Guys need a little advice.
My lens are dull ( scratched plastic cover on the outside and could use cleaning) read about this product and it looks promising.
But my question is how to use these plastic polishes?
Polish with what (cotton, soft cloth, sponge...)?
Do it mannualyy or put something on Acu drill and use it?
Never done this and a little afraid of ruining headlights.

Do you have a picture of them?

It really depends on how badly they are dulled. Usually a number of products will work such as rubbing compounds, polishing compound, silver polish, alloy wheel cleaner, plastic polish.

The original Hella lenses are quite thick and you can use a cloth . or machine to apply. If none of the above remove the dirty residue you can use emery paper 600 / 1200(wet) and then finish off with the plastic polish.

For an immediate improvement you can resort to buying a new pair.  ;D

It'll work... eventually..... and your arm will ache for a week !!!

Very fine wet & dry .. very wet ... followed by T-cut/Brasso .. then Plastic polish worked on my old beast..... but it does take a lot of effort
