headlight lense cleaner/polish
« on: 02 January 2011, 00:56:58 »
Today to celebrate the New Year for miggy, I decided to give her headlamps a polish. Wow what an improvement! Previously I've used Brasso even tried toothpaste.This time thought I'd try a purpose made product as I got some Meguars Plast RX in a valet kit as a pressie from my grandson, and now the headlamps have their old lustre and brilliance back and it was fairly easy to do.Tomorrow think I'll have a go at the glass with a spray glass cleaner instead of the old leather. :y

All cars do. The Omega were just poor to start with (like all Vauxhall from that era)

Actually Omegas are pretty resilient, second generations Astras suffer badly, Nissan Micras also even audi A6 are terrible etc etc

Clean the glass with Meguiar's clay and then apply 2 coats of lacquer. They will look brand new and will last forever. :y
