Lbox88 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 What hdorre said. Inside or out? Gritty toothpaste does help a little bit, cheap test at least. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I had luck with Mother's Plastic Polish. Had to be applied at least once a month but it did a decent job. Depending on the vehicle I would just buy new. Tried to restore mine once and turned out like shit. The inside of the lenses are very very sensitive to abrasion. You can find them pretty cheap some times on parts geek or rockauto. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I just used bakingsoda and peroxide toothpaste on mine. Follow up with some head light kit. The kit didn't help any more than the toothpaste. I use a magic eraser when I used the tooth paste. Next step is to try to take them apart and wet sand/clearcoat Any one got tips on how to get these apart and what to use to glue the back with?

Katt Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 The bug spray with high deet works. I did mine with 220grit sandpaper on a d.a sander. Then used a sanding block with 2000 grit with soapy water. Then I clear coated them with actual automotive clear, not cheap junk. Even removed the level plastic tabs that are molded to them and cant see they were ever there. They look damn good like factory. Duck, youd have to bake them open in a oven. Then use clear waterproof sealant. I forgot his name, but he did a retrofit in his altima, red and black? Hed know more. *06 330i - Sundern x12 - saz-3500* *91 Foxbody V1 S-Trim Notch* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
