Polished glass headlights with their own hands

Our climate is such that from mid-October to March, motorists are forced to suffer from rain and fog, snow and slush, and also to ride in low natural light into the endless winter nights. In such circumstances, the machine requires good optics, otherwise the movement is becoming a very unpleasant and stressful process. If your car lights were dim, do not rush to change light bulbs - first pay attention to the glass. On the glass are traces of small scratches from sand and stones, over time, they clog the mud, is virtually impossible to remove. Such pomutnevshie windows overlook much less light than he improperly dissipated, and the driver sees is not directed beam of light, and blur. In contrast to the installation of new windows on a domestic car, the replacement glass headlights cars is not easy. We first have to find the glass itself, but used the glass will most likely be the same as yours. The second nuance is in the cost of new glasses, although the best option is to buy new washers, cost of which will begin with a $ 60 for the same second-hand and reach up to 200-300 CU and more at the new lights. Motorists rescued well the fact that the glass of many modern machines - plastic. Polishing these glasses do not need an expensive diamond paste: polishing headlights can be cheaper and abrasives. There are many ways to polish: you can scrape the lights with a razor, followed by scrubbing with tooth powder or paste GOI, boil in oil or burn open fires, but these methods are good only demonstrate the ingenuity and the ability to dispense materials at hand with a shortage of funds. There are also modern technologies and materials, instantly cleaning the glass. Polishing glass lamps, you can use abrasive Abralon to weave through the substrate of the foam (grain size varies from 600 to 4000) and finish polish Polish-2000, a soft cloth and masking tape to isolate the adjacent surfaces. The cost of the entire set of less than 20 dollars, and polish it can be used for more than 20 lamps. "Abralon" fitted with Velcro for fixing to the sanding machine. Can be applied and hand sanding, it will not affect the final result: foam substrate is perfectly repeats the convex surface of the headlamp. Describes the technology polish corrector can be applied not only to motorists who are accustomed to doing everything with their hands, but also in medium-sized service centers. To start rinse and dry polished headlights. Then cover the tape all the adjacent surfaces of bumper. Easily removable parts, remove. For primary grinding of use Abralon-600. Before working all circles should be dampened - so they are better able to cope with its task. For machine polishing usually takes no more than two or three minutes. Grind spotlight as long as its surface is uniformly dull. Wash the spotlight and start grinding around with grit 1000. Repeat the operation with the community with greater granularity. Each stage of grinding should last two to three minutes. Should ensure that the spotlight has become almost transparent. Rinse and wipe the glass, leaving the surface slightly damp, apply a small amount of cloth Polish-2000, and polish the headlamp by hand for 5-7 minutes. The result of your work will be visible to the naked eye. As a result, polishing light to grow by 35-45%. The whole operation takes only 15 minutes, and if you use manual polishing, you'll need half an hour.
