Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 11:49 pm Post subject: supra foggy light
well when i bought the supra the lights where a bit foggy cause there plastic lens and havnt been looked after so i thought im gunna fix this, but i didnt wanna pay a fortune 2 get em lookin good again,
so i did abit of research and found 1 guy used an oven and plastic cleaner, another said hot water and polish, and i didnt like the oven idea
so when i was puttin me front bar bak on i put the lights in the sun took the clips off and left em 4 about an hr than pryed open and gave em 1 hell of a good polish using meguiars deep crystal wet look polish and made em come up kinda like new, the hardest part gettin the old rubbery stuff out of the grooves than put it all bak 2gether and 4 a cheap price of polish and a tube of window sealant only cost bout $30 compared 2 a place that woulda charged like $200
here r some pic of progress
BEFORE:
left not cleaned, right been cleaned
looked kool without lens on em
FOGGY
CLEANED
back 2gether, almost crystal clear but better than b4
AFTER finished project looks alot better
tools used
and rags and the sun
just goes 2 show wat u can do with abit of time and reasearch who would have thought polish would get rid of foggy look not i and i thought id try it first
