Just waxed headlights.

Dansby · April 6th, 2008, 10:54 PM

My headlights were REALLY foggy. A friend of mine recommended waxing them. So, I take my wax, rub it on said headlight, let sit for 10 min. while I made a pizza, took wet rag and washed of headlights, turned lights on, and bam.

They seemed ALOT brighter than they were, but they were to the point where I could barely see 15 feet infront of me if there are no street lights.

Did it actually do anything or is it just my imagination hoping that it did, haha.

I polish mine with ultra finish. Meguiars also makes a product for that as well: meguiars.com: E-Store /Consumer (Meguiar's Brand)>Clear Plastic Care

Waxing them then helps protect them.

The brightness is from the light hitting the wax. However, wax puts a film on the headlight which in turn probable caused the losss of light penetration

Ah, ok, sweet.

Doc. I checked the bumper. NO cracks or any small scratches even. Perfect condition.

yup, everyone makes fun of me because i wax my headlights and tail lights, hell i've even been known to wax my windshield (to me it helps water roll off while driving in the rain {sorta like rain-x but cheaper

}) but yeah it helps clean them easier too with bugs and such

Speaking of bugs, every year we get these fun little visitors called love bugs. Well, they get on your front bumper and such and if you dont clean them off like, that day, then little bits and pieces DO NOT go away. I have washed my car 7-8 times and SCRUBBED the front bumper. Nothing. Any ideas?

tsp_2177 · April 6th, 2008, 11:02 PM

try the same thing you can remove your stickers off with?
wd-40 and a microfiber cloth?

Just bad timing I suppose.

You never showed up the other night, I had to watch Brokeback Mountain all by my lonesome. For that, you can hang your head in shame.

<----No smiley.

Bad Zippy.

I like to play hard to get. Come on man, you can't have the whole package in one fell swoop.

lol

If you just keep your car some what clean (wash every 2 weeks atleast) then you shouldn't have a problem with plastics getting fadey...

Of course not. How foolish of me. You are a wanted man among the members here. I don't know what I was thinking.

Don't do that. You're far more worthy than you know.
