SoFreshSoClean Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 has anybody tried clearing up their headlights, specifically in a 95 es300, with fingernail polish remover. I have nasty discoloration on the clear, plastic housing and want to get rid of it. I read in SCC that acetone takes care of it. Anybody know about the dangers or benefits?

There are plastic cleaners designed to remove this discoloration. This will give you some idea.>>http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/frames.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Mequiar's Mirror Glaze, plastic polish. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 agreed plastic polish is perfect yellowed plastic is pretty much dead but can atleast look shineyas their is cheaper plastic in 95-96 headlight leans which yellow easily over time.
