How do you polish or buff out plastic headlight headlight covers on cars so they look clear again?

Posted by admin  Published in Plastic Polish


I used aluminum wheel polish that contains jewelers rouge and a bonnet on an electric drill. It worked very well. There are now kits available to do this but, they are kind of pricey. Probably any rubbing or polishing compound and a bonnet on an electric drill will work. Be careful and don’t burn the plastic by to much pressure on the drill or polishing to long in one place on the headlamp..

MeGuiars makes a kit that you can buy to do the job and most auto stores sell it, all you need is a drill or cordless drill to mount the buffing pad they give you.
