Hey guys whats the best way to clean the headlights from the Aristo. Got my car back from the panel beaters and there is crap all over it (mainly from tape that they used to cover it). Don't really want to take it back as they will most likely fuck something up again. Just wondering what an effective way/product to use is?

Thanks in advance

Ahh yes, found the write up by Chris. Might have to turn up at his place and get him to help me. My oven isn't the best and tends to fluctuate greatly in terms of temperature. Thanks mate.

Just use the "Maguire's all metal polysh" on the outside with a clean towel and rub rub rub. Takes the yellow off pretty well

DONT use any solvent.

Use: Car polish + lambs wool pad + water = cleaned outside of the headlights. Works wonders.

hey guys just letting you know that if you want to clean your headlights for real cheap then grab normal everyday colgate. spread it over your headlight and rub it with a very slightly damp cloth. dont have the cloth too wet though as it'll wash the colgate off. and then after a little bit of rubbing in a circular motion just wash the lot off. will come up sweet for cheap Very Happy
