I just went to a junk yard, and found a V8 swapped z. It had the headlight covers cracked, I was like damn... So im inside messing arround(has a hurst shifter and a random chevy engine..why chevy doesnt bowtie there parts to ID I dont know. Also a bolt in roll bar) So im messing arround and pull the seat forward.

BAM 2 sets of covers, one passenger side is cracked so i left it.

 

they have dirt on em, witch i can clean.. but also some have minor scratches id like to get out.. any ideas?

Wet sand with 600 grit, then 1000 grit, then plastic polish and a lot of rubbing will bring back more shine than thought possible. It works! Have done this many times before on these headlight covers and old faded tailights.

For almost that cost you can just obtain new headlight covers from Altec Products. They will sell direct and beat MSA's cost. Ask for Greg. Here is the link...

Do you remember for what cost you got them for? I can only find an MSRP pricing guide and its higher then MSA.

 

Thanks,

Mario

Check out this link as well. I've got to order some to take care of my faded tail lights on my Jag. It's a pretty good read.

I bought some of this stuff and it works REALLY REALLY well. The bodyshop had layed a rag of thinner or something on my covers so they were all hazy. This stuff made them look brand new.
