I got bored this weekend so I figured I would put use to the supplies in the garage.

Damn, your headlights look brand new. How'd you go about cleaning them? I'd like mine to look like that...

 

[DSMcamaro]

looks nice. damn, that UICP looks like it should hit on the hood. And is your intercooler crooked or is that just the way the bumper sits?

 

[Boost95]

I just wet sanded them with 1000 and then buffed them with a rubbing compound. And then just used a polish then threw a coat of wax on it. I put my clear corners on a long time ago and took them right back off because they made my headlights look even worse. Now they all match up nice.

DSMcamaro- check out my other listing for DOES MY UICP LOOK TOO HIGH and if my bumper is "crocked"

But yea, it is a little "crocked" now that you mention it. This is the 1st time in a while I put some time into the car to notice. The UICP is too high too

Its a quick easy way to clean your car up .

nice can of coors

 

[DSMcamaro]

"crooked", sorry, it was a quick reply

Nice, but I have to ask, whats the blue? I seen it before but never thought of asking.

 

[Black94DSM]

The blue is from the bulb in the headlight houseing, its just reflecting off it.

They sure did clean up nicely, good job.

 

[Dream On]

Wow, I thought you opened up the headlights and cleaned inside them also, they look so good!

 

[mavisky]

Looks good, although every time I do that to my car it tends to last about a month or two before they're all fogged over again. Did you just tint the taillights darker?

 

[Boost95]

If they fog up again I wont need to worry about wet sanding them. I will just use a polish on them whenever I wash the car Yea, I just used that Translucent Light tint . I just put one light coat on them. They look much darker in the pic. I will post one in the daylight when I get a chance.

You should polish the IC piping. It would make a big difference cosmetic wise. Sand em', polish, then clear coat.
