my headlights are kind of cloudy i was wonder what the best way to clean them is?

 

wet sand them...

 

would i have to take them some ware to get them wet sanded or could i do it?

 

you can do it you just have to go out and buy some

 

ware do you buy wet sand at an auto parts store?

 

just use this: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=536689 its a good step by step and what you need. I'm to lazy to do all that though so whenever mine end up getting bad I'm just going to buy new headlights

 

mine are not that bad they just have a little fog that i want to get ride of ill get pics later so you can see.

 

if there not to bad I would just use some 2000 grit sand paper or something around there and sand them using a lot of water until it starts to clear up

 

i took some pics but you cant see it in them i was thinking of useing this stuff http://www.superiorcarcare.net/meplclplclpo.html what do you think?

 

I dont know if you got it off yet but I had the same problem. Which all Fords do. But anyways, my dad works for the Highway Patrol and the people that detail their cars use this stuff called Purple Power (which you can pick up at the Dollar Store or Grocery Store) and use it with a Steel Wool Sponge to get the fogginess off. And to give it a nice shine just put tiny bit of wax over it. I just bought the purple power stuff and tried it with a regular sponge and it didnt work so im gonna go get a wool sponge today or tomorrow.

 

take a garden hose and turn it on about 1/2 flow, and some 2000 grit sand paper, and just start wet sanding the headlights until they clear up.

it's real easy..should take you about 5 or 10 minutes.

you can get 800, 1500, or 2000 grit sandpaper at any parts store. i got some 800 and 1500 at Advance Auto Parts the other day so i can tint my taillights on Monday.

 

If its not bad then just use some polish.

 

i tried the the sand paper thing today and it didnt really work.

 

What grit did you use? You were wet sanding it right? Then you need to go over it with a polish to remove sanding marks.

 

take the 2000 grit and go over them lightly with water, you can either use a hose at half stream or just put the sandpaper in water and dip repeatedly1...it may take a while, but you will see the difference.

once you're done seal them with some clear spray paint. do several light layers, of clear. now if you can find some even finer grit sandpaper 2500 or better, then use that to wet sand, then get some wax and buff it out until the lens have a good shine.

 

yeah I used 2000. and I did it for a lot longer time and it got most of it off. It used to be yellow which now its not. But its still foggy.

 

well take a small screwdriver and gently pry the lens cover off...then take that 2000 grit and sand the inside of that lens. then take a scraper and scrape off the old silicon sealant from the lens edges, and apply a new RTV Sealer, and put the lens back on, use some big rubber bands to hold the lens and the housing together, be sure to clean off any excess silicon.

 

Just definatly, don't buy those crappy kits they sell at the autoparts store. They got my 15 dollars a few months back.But they were nice enough to refund me after I told them "that product sucks!". Expecially when it's just sandpaper and a "magic" solution to rub on the lens( my ***..lol.).
