stained glass removal on fogs

[300zx 2 Srt-4]

i removed the stained glass paint with lacquer thinner last night and now there is this rough clear haze across most of the light that the lacquer thinner wont take off, any ideas? paint thinner? thanks guys

That same thing happened to mine. But mine only has it a little, so you can't really see it unless you look closely. Don't want to try anything on them cause I don't want to mess them up.

you can try the 3M Plastic Polish. the stuff worked great taking the haze out of the side mirrors on my old 1g stratus, it brought them back to a nice shiny glossy finish

your best bet is getting some new ones. mine did the same thing. you may want to try some aluminum polish on them. i know that cleans up some plastic headlights. its called

mothers aluminum polish.

if that doens't work get some new ones or do like me and put rockblocker tint over them haha

EDIT: Brasso metal polish works the absolute best.

thats 230 dollars lol thanks for the sugestion though

eh only about 50 bucks more tan what two new fogs would cost from the dealer. that and much better light output

but see if you can find that 3M plastic polish. id imagine it would help clearing those lenses up a lot

mine came out just like new.

you could wetsand them up really good, and then clear coat them that might work pretty good

damn milkit thats the same brand i used and it screwed it up

[bmxking45]

yeah it is foggy because the paint thinnner also dissolves the plastic that the fogs are made of. You shouldnt ever really use those kinds of things (paint thinner) on plastic materials

[BACARDI_DWB]

ok wetsanding doesn't work. already tried that. laquer thinner should never be used on plastic

first i would try that mothers aluminum polish. its an old detailers trick. it takes a few times before it all clears up. it fills the scratches and repairs to new.

or i believe there is another product they sell in austrailia (i know i know) called "glass renew"

alot of the nissan cars, skyline R33's and nissan 240SX's with the bigger headlights had that fading issues with the headlights. i used to use this "glass renew" and mothers aluminum polish all the time to keep my headlights clear

EDIT: did some research and it wasn't mothers aluminum polish (which works but this works better)

Brasso metal polish

no its the spray paint that was used ..

Paint thinner should NOT be used, laquer thinner is different.

I got yellow paint from micheals. Had it on the car for 6 months rubbed the shit out of it with the laquer. I soaked the paint first which made it soft and scraped most of it with my finger nail then rubbed it off with more laquer. My lenses look brand new.
