Headlight haze

stanzaboi · 05-26-2008, 12:13 PM

Hey guys, My wife's 2000 Honda Accord passenger side has some type of greenish looking haze built up on it. Anyone know how to get this off? I remember there was a way, just can't remember what to use and how to get it off. Also, I have some spots on my headlight on my '04 titan that won't come out either. Thanks for the help.

Send a PM to P's Titan,he sold me some Revive polish that worked great on my Pathfinder for this

The swirl & haze with the revive works great. You should clay bar it first if you have one.

Listen....The best way to take the haze off is to buff it with a foam pad and a medium glaze with a variable speed buffer.
Anything else is just hiding it til it resurfaces in a few months

get yourself some crest toothpaste and a paper towel and a microfiber towel

use the toothpaste on the paper towel and rub it in circles over the whole light. then, buff out with the towel. if that doesnt work then go on to the things that cost money.

If your afraid to go the buffer route, go pick up some headlight lens polisher, some terry cloth towels or applicators, and a sheet of 2000 grit sandpaper.

Try the lens polisher first, that should take off all of the hazing. If there is still some heavy rough stuff, wetsand it with the 2000 grit. Dry. Use the lens polisher again. I know it's a big leap of faith to take sandpaper to any part of a car, but I did it to my wife's Volvo today with excellent results. I'll post the pics up in a minute.

Edit, Forgot the most important part, mask your paint. The plastic polisher ate the hair off my hands, probably not great for your clear coat. BTW anyone know if this kind of polishing works on all plastic? I have a big scratch on the center console of the Volvo that I'd like to go away. It's smooth shiny plastic.

This is the passenger side before shot. It's masked and I just started wet sanding before I thought to take a pic.

I have hazing all over my 03 Altima. Out here in Clermont, FL. there is a Super Walmart that will do both head lights for $20. Maybe worth trying for me. Also im kinda worried because I notice when i wash my Titan, I see some condinsation water on the inside!!!!! Any suggestions? Resealing tube goo? and if so what kind?
