Janvil Headlight Cleaner FYI...

This product does wonders on all hard plastics especially the headlights! John rates this stuff as two thumbs up!

Did you do just the outside or did you take it apart?

Thanks John

That looks good. Got on the main website above. The plastic polish at $20 for three bottle grades is ideal for our headlights.

For anyone interested, I notice they have a polish that will resurface glass. Starter kits at $60 and $90, full kit much dearer. This, assuming it works, might be a handy way to clean the score marks off the driver and passenger windows.

Anyone here tried it out??

Joe

Did them while on the car. Used the 3 step procedure (JANVIL) and buffed with a round buffing cloth that goes to a drill. Feels nice n' smooth!!

P.S. Mark, I work for food, not beer!

What the heck have you got around the edge of your hood????


Why not use the clearguard poly film: Protects perfectly and you can't see it: that black stuff is anthing but aero and looks weird (I think!!)

I used the glass formula (to remove the ugly window scratches).

It is working but requiers a ton of patience. It is not a 10min procedure. I spent several hours, three days.

The result was that the scratches are difficult to see, or only under certain angles.

Their "secret receipe" is cerium oxide. This stuff is a pink dust used to polish diamonds. You have to mix it properly with water until is a sort of a " pink mud"...and rub ....and rub ....and rub ...and you got the idea.

Cerium oxide is available for less on E-bay.

Thanks Stan

I expected as much. Just wanted to know if it was worth trying, or cheaper to replace the panes.

In terms of surface hardness [as opposed to brittleness or shattering] glass is right up there close to diamonds. Figured there would be lots of elbow grease involved.
