I did a search and came up with mixed answers. I have a 95 tegra and the passanger lights look bad due to fading. What sand paper will I need to shine it up again? Also My driverside light looks bad as well but it's not faded just brown. Like rust. I wanna know how to remove it without messing anything up. Thanks guys and girls!

 

1500 grit sand paper, some say to use 2000, but 1500 will give it a nice shine.
Just be very sure that the friction of the sand paper is done on a very wet surface, have a sponge in hand to douse the area you are sanding. You could also use a free flowing hose with no real force behind it.

 

what grit should i use to sand down my wiper arms? they need painting.....

 

honura-- if your lights are yellowing, dab some acetone on a cloth and it will clear them right up. but you may have to resort to sanding

civic coupe--320 grit should work fine for what you need.

 

cool thanks

 

Where can I buy those high grit sand paper 'cuz I check in Home Depot they don't have it?

Sanding block or sander (particular RPM?) which one produce a better result?

 

Yeah there yellowing but in the inside of the light. I bought the car with that problem. I might have to open it up and clean it out. I was just wondering if someone had a quick DIY for opening them up.


And the other one is just faded on the top. So I wanted to shine it up a bit.

 

If your headlight is sealed you need to use heat gun to melt the sealant compound. I've seen 1 guy from different board opened his civic sealed headlight to do Angel Eyes by put in the oven with temp. around 400 F for few minutes to melt the sealant. It sound crazy but it worked for him to do cheap mod!

 

if the headlights are plastic then id just use some steel wool and plastic polish.

 

320 grit by hand is too coarse....320 on a DA Sander is fine. Go to a Auto Paint Supply Store and ask for a red or possibly a gray Scotch Brite pad...wet sand with one of those and it'll be plenty sanded.
