Dull headlight cover

Postby jlo8872 » Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:42 pm

Hi,

I have a 97 NA8 in Neo Green; the LH headlight panel/cover is duller than the rest of the car.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm thinking of replacing the cover with one that has more lustre; the trick is finding one in the correct colour.

Try a cut with whatever product you like using, then a polish with green T cut.
You can buy it at super cheap auto/repco etc.
Worked an absolute treat on my BRG that has some faded panels also.
Let us know how it goes :)
