Polish your yellowed headlights.

[gone-ot]

...exactly what I said with each headlamp assembly: "...arm's getting tired..."

...and, basically, I got the same results.

That looks good!! How did you fabricate that air dam? Have you been able to notice any difference?

The key to keeping yer polished plastic lights looking new after polishing is sealing them with some clear spray after polishing them clear.

I don't have U-Pol clear available to me...so I just used some Rustoleum clear coat spray paint (non-UV) from Walmart about 8 months ago when I polished my headlight lenses. I was not able to find a source fer the UV resistant clear coat spray paint locally so I just got the normal clear spray. The clearness of the lens is holding up much better than one with no added coating on the lens. Although it's yellowed just a little, it's not hazed over like when I bought the vehicle early this year.

Glassylite is the ultimate lens restoring product kit on the market that includes a clear coating sealant and may be a better kit choice fer the DIY consumer.

Well...it started with this thread and then went to this thread. Have a twin thread on GasSavers.org as well. Best mileage so far is about 23.5mpg.

I don't think I've ever had a yellowed headlight. Even my 94 has clear lenses. Every time that I wax the car I do put car wax on them, may be that helps. Next time that I get the buffer out maybe I'll spend a few extra seconds on them.

BamZip, I like the air dam extension that you modified, around here, that be a snow pusher! Really nice job, what did you use?

Thanks Dave! You should read my build threads...

Let's see...
Coroplast, 4mm
1/4"-20 thread all
1/4"-20 "T" nuts (flattened out)
1/4" washers
Schedule 40 1/2" PVC pipe
zipties
shelf brackets
bolts
1"x2" wood
screws

As far as I know...I'm the only T-100 with a dropped and bumped air dam.

Gitting back on the subject...

I used a palm sander with some 1500/2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper to git most of the hard stuff off. The key in using this setup is keeping the surface wet with some soapy water in a spray bottle. I followed this up with some plastic polish on my buffer pad mounted on my drill. Sprayed it with a coat of clear and let that dry. Polished that down and sprayed it again. After that dried...I polished it one more time. Presto!

i used the 3 m kit on my ranger and the lights look alot better.
