Misty headlights solution
2 Attachment(s)
So to those of you with misty headlights on Blobs (such as myself), it turns out its very likely a machine polisher will fix it.

You'll probably need to lacquer them now they are polished or they'll just mist up again. This is common.

They have come up really well and really need to do mine at some point ... Did u remove the lights or do them in situ
|
as said you now have no UV protection, so keep on top of them with your car wax,
toothpaste has worked for decades on car headlights. |

Tinted Laquer :O
|
I've waxed mine but it doesn't last that long. When I get a chance I'll do them again and lacquer them.
|
ive used the toothpaste method a few times, works not bad at all. not as good as a machine polisher of course but seeing as most wont have a machine polisher its a good alternative. or buy a restoration kit and use your drill. the kits have all the stuff you need including the uv protection spray.

I'd use a recognised make of lacquer. I've used clear lacquers before that have destroyed the paint below or gone misty themselves. I use a Simoniz Acrylic lacquer and it works fine.
