Headlight question...

Way2Short · 12-14-2006, 05:11 PM

I just bought a driverside headlight and it has a lot of very small rock chips on it sort of. Is there any way I can rid the headlight of these small crap? I heard to buff it but I have no idea how to do that and what product to use. Please help, thanks

buff out with the stuff that is used to "repair" cds and lamin-x over the top maybe?

I don't think its that its dirty, its more like very tiny rock dents or something.

I have the same thing too,it's like small rock chips etc. I will buy some lamin-x,nothing to be worried about though.

I know but I was planning to use that headlight for a retro. I want it to look good and not like crap.
