Clear Lenses...

All of us know how the SVX lenses like to yellow and get all funky. Well I've wanted to do this for a while but finally got the motivation to fix my lenses. So I figured I'd do a little write up.

I got everything I needed at Walmart and it didn't cost more than $50 and thats because I bought the Mothers Powerball.

You'll need... 1500 grit sand paper, Bucket of water with mild dawn soap, rubbing compound, plastic polish, clean rags/ micro fiber, masking tape and a Powerball w/Drill.

1. First I started by masking off my headlight.

2.Lightly sand the headlight, making sure to keep the paper and headlight wet. Sand till the head light is soom and hazy.


3.Then rub the rubbing compound onto the light to take up most of the haze. Buff with the powerball till the haze is pretty much all gone.

4.Now put the plastic polish on and buff off to bring the lense back to clear.


5.Finally, I put some wax on to seal everything in. Now my lenses look good as new!
