Ive noticed every mustang ive lookd at lately thats not rather new having a problem with the front corner lights and the light above the license plate.

They all seem foggd up, making their appearance rather dull and not clean at all.

Its the plastic covering thats at fault for this but since u all definately know more about mustangs than i do, is there a cleaner i can get to fix this?

I remember that in my owner's manual for my 1998 - or maybe it was the 2000, or heck it could've been the 2003 - that it said not to dry your headlight or taillight lenses. This causes the scratching, fogging, clouding... My 2000 headlights still looked like new while I noticed similar cars with clouded headlights. Another reason to not let anyone else wash your car...

are you sure it works before i spend this 30 bucks?i have tried vinagar baking soda,and blue magic plastic cleaner and nothing gets this haze off the head lights.

i work at a car wash/ detail center and one of the guys said he could buff it off mine, might try that.

[g-man]

let me know how the buffing went before i order a new headlight .

[richey rich789]

it buffed it out perfectly in less than 30 seconds. we use an buffer and some stuff, not sure what tho, as im the cashier not the detailing dude. i work at a kwik kar, u could either take it to one of those or probably any other detailing stand could get it out, but man it looks brand spanking new right now, and the detailing guy said that yes those are caused by not drying off your headlights fast enough

[g-man]

my lense looks dull but when you wet it it looks new until you dry it.i will see if i can get someone to buff it before i get another one.i just did not think a buffer would make that much of a difference .i hope im wrong.thanks.

[g-man]

i just called 3 detail shops in my town and none of them have ever buffed any headlights and acted like i was crazy to ask about it.one guy say he would look at it and try it but not be held resposibleif it messed the lense up.i said to myself that it cant look any worse than it does now.

[g-man]

i take that back about when its wet it looks normal.its when you put some plastic cleaner on it it looks new and when you take the it off it drys to a haze again.the drivers side is in perfect condition.why one and not the other.

[g-man]

JUST TO let u know ,went to 2 detail shops today and both said buffing would not work on mine.both said to get the 30 buck cleaner.so it must work pretty good.i will pick some up tomorrow after work.

[g-man]

just used the headlight restorer and cleaner and the result----it works.it took my dull headlight back to showroom condition.worth every penny..... :thumbsup :thumbsup luv it.

[g-man]

i was wrong.AFTER THE PROCESS HAD TIME TO DRY,the haze came back.it looks the same as before.looks like i will be getting a new headlight.

Yea my headlights on my 1997 are dulled but its weird because the side lights are fine, they look new but my headlights are horrid looking, i am getting a job soon and I was wondering what headlights I should buy when I get the money, I was thinking about the chrome Angel Eye ones. My mom would rather me have them buffed out but I dont know where to get that done.
