Reviving faded rear light clusters.

Sorry it's not a Zed, but i took up hairdressing when i realised i couldn't handle twin turbo's :innocent:

 

One of the only things letting the look of my car down (IMO :laughing ) is the faded rear light plastics.

So I bought some AutoBrite scratch out during a Christmas promotion on Detailing World. This is the result.

This was applied using a micro fibre towel, worked in for literally a couple of minutes, then buffed off. Here is a 50/50 for comparison.

Hope you agree they look so much better now, thought this might be of interest/use to some of you as I'm sure others have a similar problem. Thanks for looking.

Toothpaste (non bicarb stuff) is very good for bringing up faded plastic. It's an old modellers trick used on cockpit canopies to make them clearer. The bicarb toothpastes scratch the plastic, hence they're not used.

yeah heard that too.and used it on my s15 the other day, but didnt want to mention that, incase some thought i totaly lost the plot lol.

it does work but I think that the stuff Daffs used on his girly little car is probably better, what with it being formulated for plastic cleaning...lol
