ThatTallCanadian Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Could you maybe just take it off with acetone or something? that way you should be able to protect the headlights without damaging em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatTallCanadian Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 You can if you go at it very methodically wet sanding. I don't see a problem with that, but it'd take a TON of sanding, but it could look good if done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Chivo 1986 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Try oooops it. Worked good for me yesturday. When i had some runs on some supra headlight. You can find it at walmart or just google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 They make clear for headlights ... pretty typical way to restore your lights, sand and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 acetonne should do the trick but if it were mine i would wet sand with 800 grit till it was clear then clear them. alot of work but i think it would turn out good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super88 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 guys I just used carb cleaner and it came right off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have used brake cleaner in the past and it rubs right off. Funny enough, you can also use more VHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
