Removing fogging from light casing.

Post by martyb »

Hey guys my light casings have became fogged over the years and was wondering if there are any techniques you use to remove it.

Iv seen videos with a whole different set of techniques from regular car polish to a split avacado and rubbing it along the light case and wait for it even urine!!!

theres some strangely funny videos on youtube for this sort of thing.

Since i dont fancy the latter i was wondering what you guys had to say on this subject.

I got it from ebay 9 quid.I looked on the halfords website and for £19.99 there was a one step headlight restorer kit (meguiars) which i presume is something along the same lines as what i got for 9 quid came with the pad etc thats a fair wee saving.

Iv noticed that ebay tends to be alot cheaper for the more specific sort of cleaning liquids.
