Thewes Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 I always use to love goof off but I used it trying to remove some residue on the inside of my headlight lens and it completely ruined it. Should I try to wetsand it out or is there another way? Anyone have experience with goof off damaging plastic?
Megalomaniac Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 wetsand with a high grit(2-3k) to get majority of the oxidation out. Then use a compound and a polishing pad on a drill or polisher(if you have one) to smooth it out. worked great on mine. Team Stereo Clarity
The Performer Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Why did you have reside inside your lens ??? Dude, sound's like you've just made a huge mistake as it is, but if anything man, I wouldn't even go through the trouble of wetsanding just yet. Try a good polishing compound first, with plastic restoration then after. Right now you're just risking it all though, since you're INSIDE the headlight housing. Sounds like just a bad overall situation to be in dude. CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything.

Thewes Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 dang how much lens do u go through. didnt u night shade one and now u messed up another one I used nightshades almost 2 years ago on my Escalade headlights, but that came off easily. What happened here was I took apart my headlights on my Yukon for a retrofit for HID's and I ended up getting some epoxy on the inside of the lens, so I decided to use goofoff to get it out, and it ended up eating through the inside of the lens.
uluahunta808 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 dang that sucks. hopefully something will make it look better. how bad is the damage pics??
