Clear cam gear cover refurbish?

[dsmfa9nutter]

I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. A few years ago I picked up one of zaklee's clear cam covers, one of the first batches iirc. After all this time, it's fogged up badly. Has anyone refurbed their cam gear cover?

Maybe you could use a headlight restore kit like the one that 3M makes.

whitening toothpaste w/o baking soda. I used that to clean the headlights on my 1gb back in the day before the cleaning kits came out

If it is made out of polycarbonate, the toothpaste idea is your best bet. Abrasive but not abrasive enough to leave scratches.

I'll have one of my employees go at it with a headlight restorer, if that doesn't work, I'll probably just buy another one.

yea, and if you dont wanna buy the headlight kit. I have seen the individual plastic polish for sale even at Wal Mart. Like $7

Go to a local body or detail shop and ask them if they would just buff it up for you. As long as it's not scratched and it's just hazy, then regular buffing compound should brighten it back up. I restore tail lights and other things at our shop using buffing compound.

Could also do 1000grit wet sand

Street tuned motorsports is where I purchased mine. They do not make one for the 420A engine. I googled and did some searching for you and came up with nothing.

Mine has not gone hazey but it did crack on the 2 bolt holes, so i sent him an email and he replaced it for me free, it should not go hazey unless you put some cleaner on it! Shoot him an email and see if he can help or any ideas on it

I bet you could get in there and polish it real nicely with the meguires power ball kit.
