Any ideas what to use on plastic lenses ie: Tail light, turn signal etc. to restore them? Mine are kind of hazy and grubby looking, I've heard of using metal polish? AutoSol etc....Any thoughts?

Spray them with a good clear coat and they will look like new. Darren

Yepp that will work, but i always use a tranparent plastic primer first. You can also mix some color in the clear,ex black, red, orange. Be carefull with the color not more than 1% to max 3%, i use as litte color as possible then 3-5 coats [attachment deleted by admin] |

We sell the plastic refinishing kits for headlights at work (the ones that take the haze out of the lenses on Fords, Dodge Neons, etc.). It worked great on my co-worker's Mustang; made the headlights look brand-new. I want to try it on my tail lights, but I'm going to find a back-up set first (just in case).

I used Meguir's plastic polish to clean up my rallye dash lenses. They were so cloudy I could barely see the intsruments. Lots of elbow grease and polish later, they look darn near new. Should work on colored lenses, too.

We use this on lightbars. http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/plexus.html The Meguires plastic polish works pretty good to. Turtle Wax polishing compound works good to.If it's really bad you can wet sand w/ some 2000 grit then use the polish. |
