Head Light Restoration Kits

[PearlWhiteGT]

Which one do you guys think would work better?

Wolfgang Plastik Lens Cleaning System is a three-part system for clean, clear headlight lenses! (http://www.autogeek.net/plastik-lens-cleaning.html)

Diamondite® Clear Plastic System Kit cleans, polishes, restores headlight lenses. Diamondite plastic polish scratch remover for headlights. (http://www.autogeek.net/diamondite-clear-plastic.html)

The WG requires you have a PC, and the other is using a drill...other than that I think they are about the same...You should do a search on headlights we`ve had many thread run on this subject and you can do this without buying a kit....

I thought I could use a cordless drill with the WG kit?

I saw on an other forum where a guy used a PC7424 with a orange pad & some Menzera SIP & had great results. Could I use a 3" pad with a cordless drill the same way?

In looked at the WG and thought it was a PC...I like WG line so that would be my choice...again do a search on this site there are quit a few threads on the subject and some where you don`t need a kit.

Use can use a drill with WG kit, the kit actually comes with drill adapter.

That`s what I was thinking but I read where a guy used a orange pad & some Menz IP & had great results. The lights looked krystal clear even better than the pic on the WG site. I`m wondering Iif I can do the same but with Poorboy`s Proffesional Polish. What do you think?

[PearlWhiteGT]

Here is what i`m thinking. Which would be better or should I use some thing else?

-1000, 1500, 2000 & 2500 grit
-SSR 2.1
-SSR 1
-EX-P Sealant
-Yellow, Orange & Grey pads

or

-1000, 1500, 2000 & 2500 grit
-Menzerma IP
-Wolf Glass Sealant
-Yellow, Orange & Grey pads

Both are good choices I like PB line but both will do the job for you

[PearlWhiteGT]

Choices, Choices, Choices.......... Will the Menz IP have enough cutting compared to the SSR 2.1 & SSR 1? The Menz is a 32 oz bottle & the PB`s are 16 oz. It`s about a $10 difference.

[PearlWhiteGT]

What about this product with a good sealant? Why are there so many choices!

[PearlWhiteGT]

OK, i`m going to go with the PB SSR`s but do I need the EX-P or could I just use some Plexus? I also saw that PB has a polish with sealant. Has anyone used it?

3m and permatex make headlight cleaning kits whereas mothers and meguiars have an almost all in one plastic polish

[PearlWhiteGT]

I got a lot of good help from "9D4E420". I ordered some of the PB SSR products & some different pads. Thanks every one for all the info!!!

A little update... I tried cleaning up the lights on my fiances old car. About a year & a half ago & guy wet sanded them & then sprayed them with clear & now half of the clear peeled off. I tried wet sanding them with 1000, 1500 & 2000 but could not get the old clear coat off. I did a quick polish with SSR2.5 & a oragnge pad. Finished with PB Final Polish & Plexus. They look a lot better then they did before but you can see the line from where the clear was peeling. Anyone have any ideas on how to remove the rest of the clear coat off???
