The Bronze Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Rather than fronting $106 to rarespares, anyone know if those headlight lens polishes will work on the acrylic that gauge lens are made out of. Seems to make sense. These are what i'm talking about. https://www.rarespares.net.au/rsnz/ProductPage.aspx?product=DIL2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Pretty sure most any plastic can be sanded or polished, used to do my headlights with just automotive car cutting compound, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4yp-kumgpoM Seems to be plenty of videos worst case you end up buying some new ones!

datlow Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Gif fixes all, Mate used it on a red familia that was all faded as red cars do, wouldn't do it too much as it's pretty had cutting agent tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvmyvl Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 don't muck around with jif or toothpaste, use the proper stuff that works. PLEXUS. its a spray that polishes and removes light scuffs and scratches. if you are near manukau, i have a can that you are welcome to use.I se it most days to clean acrylic display things we make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
