hey does anyone know any tricks to cleaning the caseing for headlights to clean them up? THe headlights on the van I am getting are so yelled that I guess you cant even tell the headlights are on...... any ideas please share....

Use Carb cleaner... i got this trick from a Ford Escort forum, just put a little bit on a towel and wipe your headlights fast.

If you don't mind paying about 40 bucks to get them looking brand new, tousley has a service they do with a 3m kit. it is absolutely amazing what the lights look like after they are done. I would highly recommend it.

Thats not what they have. It is actually a 7 step sand then buff. Its pretty cool

Oops, here it is with the polish/cleaner. http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Head ... sbs_auto_1

The pads Tousley have might be a little different(longer lasting), but this kit is the same process. BUT it says on the kit that the pads only last for 2 headlights. So the $30 at Tousley isnt a bad price. Plus you have somebody who knows what they are doing... do it for you.

Toothpaste... the white stuff....


Cost alot less and works just as good...

wax and grease remover followed by a super-ultra-omega fine finishing compound works good as well.

I've used that on my SVT with HID headlights. Worked really well. Picked it up at the local napa for $20.
