Search Headlight Correction (assuming it's in the plastic?)

If it's not in the plastic and is just water you can't get to, remove the headlight and blow a hairdryer in through the holes on a low setting.

Yeah its the plastic, just searched for it. Somebody recommends a kit. Looks good once cleaned! Project for weekend keep me busy! Thanks for your help

 

[McGherkin]

No worries

If its the kit i think you mean (3M) then make sure you get some glass/clear sealant aswell. Ive been told the headlights will go manky again quite soon if they're not sealed correctly

I watched a mate of mine use a 3M kit on his clio headlights the other day, they were quite bad but cleaned up really well. Didn't know that they often fog up again quick, I better go tell him!

I used the 3m kit but my drill stopped working halfway through the 500 grit so I had to carry on by hand, luckily I had 2000 grit to make the final part easier. They look a mess when the 500 and 800 grit are done but they do come up well once finished.

aye the 800 makes it oh so frosty

 

[McGherkin]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. It's a really messy job

 

[Tony Hunter]

500!!! fk that.

Just wow!

 

[McGherkin]

One rub with the 500. One hour with every other grade trying to fix it.

 

[Wackers92]

How long it take roughly?

 

[Loz H]

where did you get the buffer drill bit haha i want one

​it comes with the 3m kit

 

[Filippo]

Would you advise against using the 500 stuff then?

 

[Tony Hunter]

500 is very rough. I started with 800 and that was bad enough, and you'll find it's really hard to get the deep scratches out.
