3m Plastic Cleaner
#1
Well I had picked up a set of used headlights off of DrunkinMonkey a few weeks back. They were in poor shape, very poor. They are yellow, hazy, in desperate need of polishing. I was prepared to get all of the required grits of wet/dry paper to remove all the surface coating and polish up the lense. I stopped into a local paint supply shop here in Scarborough ready to all the paper that I would need to complete the job.

Well after finding out how much wet/dry paper costs and that I would have to recoat the light with a UV coating or Laminx the guy at the store offered me another option. 3M Plastic Cleaner 39017. For $13 I think its money well spent. Lets just say I am quite supprised with the results so far. With a little elbow grease and persistance the haze is just being buffed away. Check the pictures below and see my results so far.

I know that I still have a bit of polishing to do but I am happy with how things are turning out so far. I will post final pic's when I am complete.
