Old lady here!! I owned a antique shop. I would get old Bakelite (100yr old plastic) appliances, mostly tabletop radios. They would be oxidized with a white film. I would use "Mothers Mag", you gear heads, muscle car enthusiasts remember this. It was used to polish chrome wheel mags. A very fine abrasive. It revived the color and shine. Same concept.
@leeparks8672
11 күн бұрын
I used that before also years ago, never on headlights, maybe I'll try it.
I'd just like to make some constructive criticism. The compound won't soak into the plastic, it contains a very fine grit, similar to soft scrub cleaner for bathrooms. This grit essentially sands the oxidized layer of plastic off as well as lightly polishing the layer that becomes exposed. Also as a correction, THIS IS NOT PERMANENT. From the factory a layer of UV protection is applied to the surface reducing the time that the sun and elements breakdown the plastic. The process shown in this video will eventually and more rapidly allow for the oxidation to return (depending on the weather in your area). If you'd like for it to last longer, you can purchase a uv protectant spray from your local auto parts store that will add a bit more protection and longevity to the restored plastic. Otherwise this is 100% temporary even with the spray

Compound is not a water repellent. The fact that you make it glossy helps it to repair water or the appearance of. But once the sunlight starts getting to it it's going to start fading even faster than it did without any protection. You must put a protective coating over that plastic. The Maguire's clear coat coating is one of the best, the dupli color high gloss clear is pretty good as well.
That's so great helping out an elderly neighbor! We should all look out for our neighbors, it really has a positive domino affect.

Only downside is they’re easy to shatter. But then again $10 for a sealed beam isn’t too bad, considering that’s what the capsules cost for regular halogens, HIDs and LEDs can cost $90 - $500+ for OEM replacements. Aftermarket LEDs are available for the old glass sealed beams.

Convert to halogen sealed beam. You will have to be crafty to fill in the empty edges left behind from where the round headlights will not fill the edges. But the result is actually quite handsome and the headlights will be bright for many years. When they finally burn out, they are very cheap to replace and you can reuse the housing you made to fill in the hollows left behind where the round headlights did not fill the edges. I have done this in a 2009 Honda Civic, an older Honda Accord, and a 2010 Ram 2500.

Not only are they not going to be here much longer, but they have priceless knowledge and experience to share! CHEERS!

I had some Turtle Wax Compound paste… so not the 3M liquid… But with 2 applications per headlight… hand rub and hand buffing… and Wow, what an improvement! They don’t look “like new”, but definitely a tremendous improvement. I know the night driving & rainy day driving safety level went up substantially AND that is absolutely worth the 20 minutes it took. Thanks for sharing this info.
