Anyone know of any company or service provider that can open and clean car headlamp lenses to remove the ugly yellowish gunk forming on an old headlamp?

If anyone knows of a service do share with us ya.

Btw, is there any chance that this can actually be DIYed?

hi, the yellowish stain that you see on headlights are actually formed on the outside not inside. if it's forming inside, then your headlights might be having a tiny hole or something in which water can seep in and evaporated on hot weather causing those yellowish stain.

you can actually send it for polishing at those car wash center. no need to dismantle the headlights. it'll take about an hour or 2 to get it done. price varies.

O.o" .........wah......

Maybe i will try and use lighter fluid or something to polish it. I will try and see if the yellowish gunk is on the outside or inside. Is there any other type of product that i can purchase to aid me in polishing the headlamp covers?

I used headlamp polish liquid. Bought from Giant, available at ENEOS and Brothers too. Forgotten the brand, but made in Malaysia, price around RM10~15. Result not bad, polished my father 7 years old car headlamp. It's not very strong, so have to apply and rub few times to bring back the shine.

     

raja_emeperor

if use dot3/4 liquid surely one wipe bro!no need polishing.

really a good tips..
i treat my headlamp last time by sanding it by 1000 gred sand paper, then spray clear coat paint on it. the result was not as good as brand new.
But i think i cannot use brake fluid already cause my headlamp got clear coat paint.
anyway thumbs up for raja.
