HL inside cleaning
Do anybody try to remove insede tarnish/Black haze/bulb burn marks? I saw alot of car which headlamps like that,there is nothing in outside but inside is very bad.
I think high heat or bulbs uv generate this, how can be cleaned when it opened, yellow-x is capable of to clean them or anyother chemicals needed.

Re: HL inside cleaning
I do not remove the lens cover. If there is damage inside, it's better for the owner to replace the headlight assembly.

Re: HL inside cleaning
Hımm, i see , is there anything wrong with minvax spar urethane/mineral spirits 1:1 mix method or just you want to change.
Do you recommend minvax method for me, i ask it because i write from Europe so, 1 bottle Delta 2K clear coat's shipping is 178$ so it does not make sense to buy it. i must find another protection method.
your opinions are important for me, i could not find it yet

I recommend you use a product specifically made for headlight restoration, whether it be Delta or whatever you can find in your area at the best cost to you.canf wrote:Hımm, i see , is there anything wrong with minvax spar urethane/mineral spirits 1:1 mix method or just you want to change.

Re: HL inside cleaning
It is just best to use a product that is specifically manufactured for the task at hand.
Get a couple of old headlights from a junk yard and practice with the method or product of your choice. Then set them in the sun for a few months to see how they weather.
You need to come up with a method that pleases you and that is readily available to you.

Re: HL inside cleaning
I never had a problem with any product I have used in the past. I just prefer to use a product that is made for the task at hand. I don't know what else to tell you...canf wrote:Ok, but i dont understand still why you quit using minvax method? it is tested,it stayed 2 years,a lot of peole offer this method now too.if you dont,what you know? please tell what is wrong with this method
