Anyone know of a product to help hide or remove the sand blast effect on headlight lenses? They arn't extreme but last night I noticed a lot of fine etching on the plastic. :depress: It seems I have heard of a product that will hide or remove this. The claybar didn't seem to help. :shake: Any ideas will be highly appreciated! :help: Thanks!!

I've used Brasso to remove alot of those things on the Headlights, its great for cloudiness, and some of the scratches..Try it in a small spot, it may help you...

There's only one In my opinion, novus plastic polish, it comes in three stadges.#1 cleans like oem new,#2 if you have minor scratches,#3 will take out deep scratches or pits, I might add if you use #3 you have to go in revers order #2 #1 and so on. Hope this helps?:coolman:

Eastwood has a kit that corrects these issues and it involves a high speed buffer.
Wipe on wipe off wax isn't gonna do it. :shake:

There is a product for polishing acrylic and lexan...I used it in the Marines to polish jet cockpits windows...
It's available from companies that work with acrylic and Lexan...
look in "The Yellow Pages or on line...architect

Like I said before NOVUS POLISH,and you don't need no darn buffer, but a little
elbow grease is involved. And that's my :twocents:

I've seen Novus do a good job in removing "dropped bike" scuff marks from the taillight of a Sportster.
(edit: How they got scuffs on the taillight - I don't remember. - But it wasn't me!)

Spelling is probably wrong, but wehnol metal polish worked for me on scratched gauge lenses.

I didn't have any idea there were so many products that could be used for this! :confused: Now all I have to do is figure out which one(one's) to try! :lol:
Thanks again for all of your help!
