the original owner of my car replace the right hand side headlight. when i bought the car a few thousand miles ago they both looked great. not the drivers side headlight has some fog/gunk/rough/, etc... crap just on the top of the outside part of the lens. i had some wax, cleaner polish, soft scrub(don't laugh) i tried applying each and every one to see if any were abrasive enough to "wipe it off"... had a litttle bit of success on just a bit of it.

can anyone suggest a cleaner or home remedy i might be able to use to clean this. NOTE: i don't want to wetsand them at all... i'm just hoping someone has this problem and has a quick cure for it. thanks for all your support guys.

also, i have decided to keep the car, i replaced the damged by wife 18's w/new 18's and new tires. looks great and will be posting pics soon.

i hope someone can respond quick as i'm at work, no computer access when i leave until i get a charger for the laptop, and would like to do this when i get home tonight.

THANKS!

are they glass or plastic but it really dosnt matter I used this stuff on the windshield and watch glass with very good results but time consuming

i've heard of that. can't you buy that at the grocery store as well? not poking fun, just wanting to know what direction to go home in... haha. will it scratch the plastic. sorry to mention but i have a 98 A6 quattro. thanks a lot Dave!

any one else have success with this or anything else?

you guys are awesome...

you can buy it just about anywhere and it really does work ( dare I say Ive even used on my glasses ) its very fine so no damage will result on using it not like T cut/G3 sort of stuff

dave, thanks for the quick responses. and i can just apply it with a wax applicator? circular motions? etc? and buff with a cloth or old shirt?

sorry about all the questions!

You can pick up plastic and glass polishing/repair materials at Eastwood Co, I'd go that route for a good result.
