Default clear headlight lenses in 5mins.

I've been checking everywhere 4 asimple way 2 clean the yellow film off my headlights.I've got a 93 sc300 and the lights looked terrible. They made the car look old.I found an acrylic glass cleaner and polish at advance autoparts.they carry the stuff in their marine or boat section.Its made by meguiars. It's called mirror glaze.It works awesome. It's only 6 bucks, and you don't have 2 tear your lights apart 4 clean headlights. Happy cleaning.

Unless the seal is broken and condensation has gotten inside. Novus #2, followed by #1 also works wonders.

Sounds weird, but I was told to use Scratch X. It did a pretty good job, altho I will try one of the others to see if it can be improved upon.

I tried the ScratchX but it didn't work that well even with a lot of elbow grease.

I then tried PlastX http://www.meguiars.com/product_show...cfm?SrcLine=CP

and it worked great. A lot less rubbing/buffing and it made the plastic look new again.
