nope I bout the 1000 grit sandpaper and that 3m rubbing compound. For that 5 minute stuff u told me about i needed a drill and i aint got one of those, so I went with the compound, but it didnt work I sanded and waxxed the eff outta it and its still a bit foggy, not too much though. Ill post pics later
|
My cars broke rite now so I gotta fix that shit : / effed up man
|
The buffing wheel does about 15 minutes of hand rubbing in about 5, so keep on rubbing those headlights lol
What happened to your car? |
rear connecting rods fell off lol sucks ass but I fixed it this morning, Im gonna be puttin new brakes n shit on this weekend and painting my interior, effin awesome
|
Groovy, my car decided it was time to start the LIM leak, so i have to put off the replacement of the wheel hubs and sterio system untill i get that fixed..
at least my headlights are shiney now lol And for some reason, i looked at the front of my car today and noticed the passenger side headlight is sitting farther down than my driver side.. the entire piece that holds the headlight assembly on the car is cracked in between the pins you pull up to remove the lights.. never really noticed that before now.. |
yeah u need a new header panel, same with me since I rear ended sum fine ass girl lol, when I go over bumps in the road I can see it bounce up n down, sucks but Ill fix that once I do the HID conversion
|
I am new to this so do you sand the inside of the lights and outside? and you buy 1000 grit sandpaper right?
|
I ended up buying that 10 minute optical stuff, just put it on a drill and wet sand it, it did the trick Ill post a pic later on.
|
alright, time to bring up an old thread!!
ok, 1,000 or 2,000 grit sandpaper?? i never heard of grit that high, the highest ive seen is 250 (the really fine black sand paper) someone care to enlighten me on this? |
1000 and 2000 are used for auto body finishing, its hardcore fine grit, but what I used, go to walmart and get a thing called 15 minute optical len cleaner, hook it up to ur drill and wet sand it, it works wonders. and hella a lot easier than sanding it by hand.
|
Sat ... I think you are getting the grits confused.
The higher the number the finer the grit. And for anyone that doesn't wanna go thru the hassle of using sandpaper and all that nonsense ... just go buy some Never-Dull and that will take the color out of the lenses, although it will not remove the Haze/Fogginess. |
oh i understand how the grits work just fine, always have just that i cant fine anything that fine around here......well theres one place but i cant go there as the owner and his son are there ALL the time, and we just dont see eye to eye and bad shit happens. anyways, ill snoop through canadian tire to wally shack and see if i can find what im looking for
|
Just go to an auto body shop and ask for some.
|
haha ... 2000 being fine ... I can get a hold of 12000 :lol:
|
ok so i was able to find 2000 grit and some polish (its called metal polish but it works on plastic to) and i got them done, theres a decent amount of difference but i think i needed to start at a lower grit then finish it with 2000 as i used 2000 the whole way through but im sure i could have gotten a better result if the grit i used to start was lower. oh well, ill post pics later
