I was v8sho.com seeing if there's some way to get the scratches out of my headlights and I came across this http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/headlight_polishing.html I was wondering if any has tried this and results where found?

Are you trying you fill pits or polish off the oxidation?

 

[2 4shofast]

Im just tring to polish off the oxidation, it has a lot of build up from having the headlights waxed when it was detailed all the time and now it looks like crap

 

[Glue Maker]

Ah, thats easy. Go pick up some Mothers Mag polish at wal-mart. It works wonders for both the headlights and the wheels

Mothers Mag and Aluminum on the lights with a lot of elbow grease. Then, use Cleaner Wax (I use Meguiars) to clean off the crap you just scrubbed off. They clear up really well, but it might take a while.

Awesome well at least I know what to get now, if only I could find a Walmart Thanks for the info guys.

Didn't notice the location!



I guess that any mag/metal polish would work

Had to read that twice

They already have one in Germany which is about 7 hours away. When I finally get my coilpacks here and replaced I might just have to venture up there.

You can get the stuff in any auto parts store, too, if that's any closer.

Italian's dont believe in taking care of their cars, they dont normally do much maintence of any kind. If the car is more than 3 or 4 years old they wont even give you full coverage insurance. So the parts stores here are NOTHING like in the states. Most store just carry filters and oil. Mobil 1 oil goes for about $14 a liter!

easy fix

Dude, I used Colgate toothpaste, just the regular kind, nothing special, clean it real good with a mild soap and water, then buff with a terrycloth towel using the toothpaste a small section at a time

Plus the headlight will have a fresh minty smell

No kidding, mine look great!!! Just guessing but toothpaste should be easier to get in Italy, matter of fact, back in the day, Uncle Sam used to issue it to me LOL

Let me know how it comes out,
