Orman Claxton:
Hi  All
The headlights on my 05 Beaver is really getting really Dull.
I know I have seen headlights being cleaned up, Pollished, or whatever,
How is That accomplished? Has anyone done it?
thanks
orman Claxton

George Harwell:
Orman, I use a product called MAGUIRES ULTIMATE COMPOUND 2 or 3 times a year and it keeps them looking good. Wal-mart and auto parts stores stock it. Works well on the tail lights also. Good luck!

Edward Buker:
I am making the assumption that the headlight is a plastic surface lens and the problem is discoloration of the surface due to UV degradation. If the lens was severly "sandblasted" from a lot of road travel then I am not sure how well any of these systems would work.

3M makes a lens restore system. It consists of two containers of liquid. The first looks like a fine rubbing compound that you first polish the lens with. I believe it restores the clarity by polishing away the top surface and the second liquid seals and protects the lens if I remember right. It works quite well for the typical surface cloudiness/yellowing kind of degradation. This product can be puchased at a NAPA store that handles automotive finish materials or probably any supply place carrying 3M products.

Orman Claxton:

HI,
I had mine done on my 04 Patriot by a company called Mr. Headlight. Mine were really dull , but after he got done it looked like brand new lights were installed and he guarantees them to stay that for four years. The cost on mine was $125.00 and worth every penny. Rather have hime do it them me maybe breaking through the lens cover.
Hope this helps.
