5 Steps to Make Clear Lights Look New Again
Who here has dull car lights? This is quite dangerous, guys, because your light's brightness can significantly decrease, especially when it rains. So, if this happens, get ready to clean and maintain the lights to make them look good again.
In addition, car glass can also become dull because it is made of mica that is usually exposed to sunlight or the heat from the bulbs you use! Hmmm ... scratches and mold can also be the main causes, guys.
No need to worry, you can do it yourself without going to the workshop. Let's prepare the materials that you can get at an automotive workshop, such as polishing compound, cleaning liquid like car wax or tire polish foam, a clean soft cloth, soapy water, a brush, and sandpaper with a size of 1500 if needed.
Once all the necessary materials are ready, let's take a look at the steps to make the lights look new again:
- Clean the lights with a cloth by rubbing or scrubbing them. This is useful for removing dirt and mold that stick to the lights.
- After that, dry them using a soft dry cloth until they are completely dry.
- Pay attention to the mica that is cloudy due to fine or deep scratches. If there are only fine scratches, you can apply polishing compound or cleaning liquid to the scratched mica surface.
- After that, rub using a clean cloth in a circular motion and wait until it dries. Don’t forget to rub again until the mica surface becomes smoother and clearer.
- To achieve the best results, you can repeat the above steps up to three times or until you get the lights clear again.
Pretty easy and simple, right guys? Let's do it now :)
