Cleaning headlights, remarkable results

[SHOGIRL1994]

Sorry if this has been discussed a hundred times over but I'm very happy with the results of this method and thought I'd share with everyone.

Started off with a very very dirty 91+ with very very dirty headlight lenses.
Here's a couple of shots of the passenger side which has not been done yet (note the yummy blue RTV used to seal the lens by previous owner... )





And here is the result after about 3 times over on the drivers side:





It could use to be gone over about 3 more times for final results but after just one try it looked significantly better. There are some rougher spots that can probably use to be gone over with some sandpaper, but overall they cleaned up very nicely in about 5 minutes!
Here's what I used:



After cleaning headlights (no matter what method you use) I recommend waxing the headlights when you wax the car, this will prevent a lot of this crap from building up.

Looks A LOT better! Hows that Eagle One stuff actually work on wheels? Make a difference?

Don't know. I got it at a car show at the Eagle 1 booth because I specifically asked the guy about something to clean up old headlights with and he suggested that because it has an ultra-fine abrasive that will clean it without scratching.
Oh, it works really well on the Ford badges too.

Heck yeah it works. Although I used Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish, I got the same results. Gets all the minor stratches and dings smooth. It also clears them up a lot. Thanks for the tip SHOGIRL

Thanks Tara

Hmmm....I need to get some of this to try on my lightbar at work....

Eagle One has great products, but for wheels, I prefer Mother's Billet. It's fairly new, but works the best on previous polished alum wheels I have had on three different vehicles.

Roy, yes thats all that was used. Hard to believe that Aluminum wheel polish would work on headlights, but I took the mans word when I bought it.

As far as the whole car.....just come over and see it on the 20th when we're having another meet.

The Plus was picked up off of a local guy here in town. It has a while before it will be perfect, but good thing its in my hands cause I'm working on it as we speak. A few mechanical parts and alot of buffing and the car will be beautiful. Just give me a couple of weeks. Pics will follow after I am done with the car.
