In 85' I finally replaced the broken, cracked and aged lenses. Bought brand new hella's for the front and rear. Been working on the front sheet metal and every time I looked at the front lenses I'd get bumbed out. They looked so good new. I had built a polishing machine and have been doing metal for years. But never did plastic, I was afraid the high speed of the machine would melt the plastic. But I had to try.
I was surprised. Takes a light touch. The metals I polish will remove skin they get so hot. |

I had good luck using a 3m headlight polishing wheel on a drill with a liberal amount of Liquid Ice polish on my fire damaged lenses ... they turned out great, including the gauges. crystal clear

I did my driving lights today, even the glass polished. Now I'm pouring over the car finding my next victims. Like the aluminum. Threaded retainers for the pull switches would be nice polished. Mine is a 72 and it has the aluminum door sills and trim...Now I've done it |
