Default Read This! Head Light Glaze!

Hey guys today i was in a big hurry to go to the Z and G meet in orlando and i really didnt want those guys to see my haze on my head lights!

I bought all the stuff that another z member asked me to do but one thing!
I didnt have time, I was going with a freind to a RX8 meet before the Z meet and needed to hurry up!

I only grabbed the applicator pad and the meguair's Platex head light cleaner.

in the other thread the member stated he used a buffer and wax and a hole bunch of pads!.

well I didnt have time and continued to just apply the Platex with the applicator pad and thats it! i did a couple swirlz avoiding the paint and put some elbow grease into the application for about 30 seconds and looked what happed!


before!!!





after





this last picture is of the application only on half the head light and the other showing the haze




agian this is without adding wax at the end and no buffer just a quick 30 second application!

the head light matched the other witch looks brand new!

imagine with a buffer and more time!

if you turn on your headlight at night, the lense still won't be clear.

If you want to get rid of the problem permanantly, sand with medium to high grit then polish it out with a high speed machine.

Use Plexus weekly after you wash your car. 06 w/ 27K and mine are optically clear save for some minor sandbast effect from road debris. Same goes for the tails.
