I have typical cruddy, yellowed white headlight surrounds on my repainted car and I want to restore them the best I can.
Painting them would be easy and look o.k. but I know it is kinda frowned upon by the purest because it is not original and I agree. Any known tricks out there ? |

Try soaking in '30 Second Cleaner'. Or make your own with bleach and TSP. You MUST completely immerse the cover or the solution will leave a distinct line on the part that's not in the solution. The longer you soak the lighter the cover.
