Cleaning and Polishing Tail Light Covers

Post by mrheehee »

Has anyone successfully done this? After taking them apart, they're pretty oxidized inside, it would take a lot of elbodine to get the crud off.

But after that - I don't think this is ABS plastic so I don't know if if it can brought back to transparency? It's soft and flexible -

How did it do on the black lines on the inside? I have the same problem but am afraid polishing them with one of those kits may damage the black.
