before





800, 1000, 1500 grit all wetsanding.

then used blue magic plastic cleaner, then used some plastic polish. looks ok.

 

That looks really good man....keep up the good work!

 

Looks awesome! Could you post a shot where you can see the whole thing? Like the before shot? Thanks.

 

Looks awesome man.

I did the same thing to my car. I used the compounds and buffing wheels on a drill, starting at Emery working my way up to the jewelers rouge.

Then I hit them with Eagle One aluminum polish, and they look great.

Good work, I like it

 

Very nice MD! Anything else planned, or is that all for now?

 

thanks.

started polishing the t-tops.

 

Gr8 job

 

Looks great!! What are those two yellow lines that are on the red part of the light? Is that just a reflection at the sunlight? It isn't noticable in the before picture.

great looking, kinda gives me some ideas

 

Sharp. I just use regular car wax to make them shine.

 

yesfan2000: most likely the camera/sunlight reflection.

 

Looks good how long did it take? and did you do it by hand or with a polisher ??

 

Don't go through all of the work and sand them just so they look 'OK'. Get yourself some plastic polishing compound from Eastwood and presto! Just a quick buff and you're done!

 

or buff them..

 

looks real good!

 

I used Blue Magic polish on mine.

 

very nice, i'd like to see your t-tops when you are done.

 

Those Two yellow lines are reflection stripes. You are not suppossed to see them unless light (like from a passing car at night) shines on them as a safty device for oncoming motorists so they don't run into the back of your car.

MD Formula must have used a flash on that one shot.

 

RED92BIRD305: about an hour about.

joshp14: didnt have enough time to order it, get it, etc..
but i am going to buy it soon then polish with my buffer.

devianb: i used flash indeed, woops

thanks everyone, i will try and work on the t-tops soon.

 

Nice job. I think that that mod adds alot to firebirds and t/as,

 

What I used on my taillights and front turn signals was the most abrasive rubbing compound for paint I had in the shop and HOLY SMOKES it made a big difference. The front turn signals were very cloudy and sun-faded; after using the polish you can clearly see the inner reflectors (like on a new one - but not that clear). The tail lights just seemed to have a much richer contrast - It was well worth while.

 

this kinda shows the shine of them.

 

Big Improvement, can't wait to see the t-tops when you're done. I need to get around to doing my lights and tops one day...

 

looks awesome man, great job
also, whered you get the plastic cleaner and polish?
second, what all do you have to do to polish your t-tops? same thing im guessing, right?
i gotta do my t-tops, theyre scratched to he** and back
once again, great job

edit: make sure you get some before and after pics of your t-tops, thatd be interesting to see the difference, cant wait

 

beachwod tan int.

nice

 

thanks, i love my tan interior

well i am doing my lexan (plastic) t-tops soon

600 grit, 800, 1000, 1500 grit all wetsanding my hand.

you can buy the plastic cleaner and polish at a local store most likely, advance auto parts and pepboys, etc...

 

Great improvement! I've also done the taillights, t-tops and front turn signals on mine. I'll try to get some good pics tomorrow.

 

hey, no pics till the event is over dude. LoL. Tail lights looked good man.

 

Yeah, that tan interior looks great...especially on black cars with t-tops. It's a pain to keep clean, but definately worth it.
