Heres a pic of the film free parking lights. I used some stuff called Blue Coral Blue Poly and it worked great. What a difference.
I guess any kind of wax would work fine, I just never really tried to make them look better. You dont even have to take them out if you dont want to, Anyways.

 

They turned out really nice! Now I am going to have to do mine!

Mark

 

I meant to tell ya, the top one is done and the bottom is not.
Also only took .01 hrs to complete.

 

Looks good, I'm doing the same thing to my car but using a different technique. When I get some batteries that will last more than five minutes I will take some pics.

 

How did you do that?
did you take them out and removed the plastic cover?
if so.. how did you do that??
PLZZZZ TELL ME!

 

I did the outside of mine. I just take the part off the car and use my polishing wheels and grease followed up by some wax. Believe me you can see your reflection when I'm done.

 

Ah I got enough batteries from all my remotes, the pic is crappy and not at the right angle but it shows how much the tail light got brightened up. I didnt even get to turn off the flash.

 

I took some more pics. This first one really shows the shine and rejuvination of the lens.

Here is a pic of my driver light.

 

ok ok hold on here,
u used to wax "coral blue"
and it does this???
is there more to this processes?
AND HOW DO U GET THOSE FREAKIN SIGNAL LIGHTS OFF!

 

Yeah I figured I would take the whole thing out and buff on it, but just on a whim I put that Blue Coral stuff on it and it shined without any buffing, I couldnt believe it myself.
But to take the light out, look under the the front, where the light is, theres 2 little bolts that holds them in, take them out, its that easy.

 

Hey I bought Blue Coral polishing wax I think it is!
Yah guy it does work good!
Its awsome
My little lights are clear!
but ill have to clean the inside also.
it looks rough!
oh and BTW!
Blue Coral Wax was 50% off...

 

Right on brotha!
Yeah the insides of mine were kind dirty also, some black mold spots, I'll clean the insides later. I'm happy for now.

 

A wax isn't going to fix a chemical breakdown caused by UV light. Preventive maintence yes, but restoritive no. Try a plastic polish, or if they're really bad start with a rubbing compound and follow up with a plastic polish.

 

This stuff is almost like it
its a ClearCoat Wax or soemthing it said on the bottle,
wax for anything with clearcoat or plastic or whatever that shines.
says on the bottle

 

I dont know whats up with cz28. I dont use wax just to brighten up the lens.I use flap wheels and special polishing compounds, da sander, and liquid polish to finish it off.

 

Am I imagining things or are the gridlines flaking or showing through..?

 

Maybe it had something to do with the buffer he used?

 

Yeah I havent got around to painting the lines yet. The paint on them was pretty crappy and peeling to begin with. Just for more fun here is a head on pic of the light.

 

Here are mine.. I need to do the inside of them also thou.

 

And Before! SOrry should of done it before and after.. oh well

 

Here is a link to the thread I wrote about polishing my parking lenses, check it out if you want.

Some interesting reading here!

But after having tried all kinds of products and getting good to fair results that only last a few days or up to a week I finally gave in and reached for the wallet.

Here's a pic of buffed/polished lens vs a new lens. New lens is installed in the car.



Got these off of ebay for $72 a pair including shipping. Not bad considering I've seen them go for $70 a piece from mail order catalogs.

Yeah, it was expensive, but I'm not buffing the parking lights every weekend anymore, plus the new lenses enhance the fresh paint job which was added a year ago.

I think it was my money well spent on a item I wanted to have to make the car look better.

 

I wanted to do the inside of my signal lights!
But like do I remove the plastic cover off it?
They seem to be glued together with this black stuff!?!
Lets say I take it off, how do I glue it together agian?

 

You guys do know these available from the dealer for less than $30 each, right?
