DIY Headlight Haze Removal

[russiansohcf23]

i used some "blue magic" headlight haze remover with the powerball and it did a decent job but its still not as clear as id like it to be. I think i'm gonna order some of the 3m polish because ive heard lots of people say it works great

I also used bluemagic and that stuff works really well, just put some elbow grease into it. My headlight housings went from yellow to crystal white

my problems with headlights include
1. driver side is hazed over
2. passenger side is crystal clear but has moister in the lens after a rain or car wash... takes forever to get out...

i can solve issue 1 from what info you guys have provided but what about issue 2?

what about issue 2?

Re-seal where the two parts of the housing meet, and also any other possible points of entry.

from the videos and comments on youtube, i found out that all you need is toothpaste and a rag to clean the haze off of your headlights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKAshYmrExc

yes, but you get better clarity from 1.5k grit sandpaper and water with Rag :jarred:

I might have to try this on my passenger side head lamp.

I was going to buy a new lamp because i polished with PlasterX and it didn't do much really.

Im going to try 3M and the power ball and if it still doesn't work im just ordering a new lamp for that side on EYAY.

Or you can do that and accidentally scratch one of your headlights like I did, I tried the sandpaper again about a month after and nothing worked. I literally just tried the toothpaste thing and HOLY F!!! IT WORKS!! Now I dont have to buy a new set of headlights

the Powerblock did both methods and they do say be careful dont add to much pressure, a little goes a long way and 1.5k grit is pretty rough stuff!

If you guys get the Powerball, just use the Mothers mag wheel/ aluminum polish, the stuff in the can. It works really well on headlights and wheels, then find a good UV inhibitor to keep them looking nice; I'm thinking Zaino is probably the best for the top-coat, I'm still saving for that stuff though.
