Friends, I'm going to try to clean the headlights of the car over the weekend. There are scratches on it. I currently have 1000, 1200, 1500 and 2200 sanders and meguiars plast x polish. Do I need to buy anything other than these? I would be glad if you share some tricks while making it. Thanks in advance.

Necessary materials for cleaning yellowed headlight lenses:

  • Masking tape (It should be used to prevent sanding, polishing and polishing processes from damaging the glass of your car.)
  • Water sandpaper (The important amount of sandpaper we will use here. It is appropriate to use 1200 sand in a glass that has no serious damage and has fine scratches. If you want to use a few different types of sanding during the process, you can also have 2000 and 3000 sands, you can sand three stages. If scratches can be used up to 600 sands.)
  • Liquid cake
  • Plastic Polish
  • Polishing machine and sponge heads (It can also be done manually without using a machine, but it is not possible to achieve a good result like a polishing machine.)

How to clean the yellowed headlights?

1) Taping of Headlight Perimeter: Firstly, we cover the headlight around the masking tape. We take care that there are no painted parts exposed, otherwise processes will damage the paint. It is also possible to stick the tape several times.

2) Sanding the Headlight : We cut a piece of size that we can use comfortably from the sanders we have chosen according to the depth of the scratches in the yellowed headlight , we begin to sanding the surface of the glass a little. We continue the sanding process without applying much force, by changing the face of the sander. As you continue sanding, sediment will come out of the surface. This deposit is the dirt and matting layer that causes our headlight to become dull. As the sanding process continues, the surface of the glass will become even more matte than before. Do not be afraid, continue the process. If you wish, you can switch to finer sandpaper. Continue this process until the surface of your glass is smooth. After the sanding process is over, we need to wash, clean and dry the headlight surface.

3) Fara Cake Application: In the pastry process after sanding and washing and drying. It is possible to apply with a sponge or a low-speed polishing machine. Pasting is actually applied to thoroughly clean the surface of the glass. If you wish, you can skip the cake process and switch directly to polish.

4) Polishing of the headlight: After the cake, it is in the polish. It is necessary to pay attention to use plastic polish. The varnish functions roughly the same as the protective acrylic in the original of our headlight, meaning it provides protection. We thoroughly feed the varnish onto the glass surface of the headlight with the help of a sponge or with a polishing machine that we operate at low speed. You can continue this process until your headlight is shining.

teacher, I found it from the net. Good luck with

my friend, I had a clio vehicle, I made it for the cars I painted, the polish, I would make it on the cars I painted, do not use 1200, do not use it, if you are inexperienced, sand it with the lowest 1500 water sand 2200 or 2000micron water sand in your headlight lenses, but before you start sanding, there are glass wipers, glass bottles of flush bottles or water used by women at home. colorful dishwashing water, fill with water, squeeze in the headlight, then in the sandpaper, whilst whipping, in the meantime, squeeze the sprinkler so that it does not dry out, then wipe it with a dry towel, the headlight will be completely matte everywhere.It is not a light place. If they are good, take them from them and rub them with the top of the cake. You can burn your water and water when you use it with the machine, because the cake is so hard, because if the cake is such a thing, you can stick it there if you couldn't sand it evenly. There are brands that write a polish with ultra scratch remover already, beat it to the windows with a nice sponge.

[QUOTE = if you are serdarra] my friend, I had a clio vehicle, I made it to the vehicles I painted cake polish. liquid green colored dish remedy used by women at home, fill with water, squeeze into the headlight, then wring it in sandpaper, whilst whipping, squeeze the sprinkler so that it does not dry occasionally, wipe it with a dry towel, the headlight will be completely matte everywhere, not a matte place light color, sand everywhere evenly then cake but not thick particle 3m There are yellow 2-liter bins, they are good, they can be taken from them and rub well with the top, as it disappears on the cake. You can burn the pine of the headlight on the machine and when you are doing it with the machine, the water is often on the glass because the cake is such a cake. There are brands such as sonax, buy an ultra scratch remover polish.

Thank you for your information, the information found by your soner was descriptive. When I saw what he wrote in Serdar's brother, I was not confused. :D

I did the headlight cleaning last year. All the information that friends say is correct. Also, don't add too much sandpaper to add. I did a little too much, although meguiars applied plastic headlight polish did not succeed. When he went to the industry and made it with the polishing machine, he improved. It is a little difficult to do manually.
