[SP|D3RMaN]

that what my mood now..
i already try, but try n error n try n error again, but.... see this.
1st pic is before
2nd pic is after paper sand 1000 grade n last 2000 grade and put back
3rd pic is Getf1 head lamp polisher made in malaysia - RM12.90
4th pic is during polishing
5th pic is the result
6th pic is 1K clear coat RM18.00, but bad result, and sand paper back remove the coat
7th pic is before polishing.

i try n error it. but happy now. thinking to apply 2K clear coat for protection.

Wow. Bro. I'm impressed by your sheer determination.
However, let me advice you something.
DO NOT spray any clear coat on your headlamps.
It's going to crack within the first few months and you'll face even more damage then previously.
Use some synthetic sealant to seal the fresh layer of plastic.
It'll help to maintain it.

Cheers !

Hi everyone,

I'm no pro in restoration of any clear plastic, acrylic, PE or polycarbonates "head lamp" or what so ever? Maybe u all can try a easier application product, I came accross this product that works quite effectively & price consider OK. I'm not sure whether is it easily available ? Cos my cousin try looked for to buy, but in d end he came took mine to polish his instead.

I tested hand rubbing on dull beiged head lamp of older model kancil, CRX, kelisa. It works OK. Also tried other products, used their polish on my ceiling fan which I put on every night till morning (for tidur), little dust sticking on after 8 month compare before had to clean every 3 or 4 months or so.

The car battery add on solution good too !! light bit brighter, my colleague put in his 10 yrs ++ Wira & once d distributor not so good and problem starting the car. he told his mechanic that took him 19 to 20 Xs turn of key only can start, mechanic told him "don't bullshit me", 10 ++ times your batt wil flat, than mech tried was amazed by it, upto 15 Xs stil kicking

I heard the manufacturer uses nano technology, and is in Bangi, Selangor, have been to their factory, friendly boss and good ranges of products, heard they also do whole car polishing (inner / outer) for those who are closed. price I'm not sure

Mayb if u r interested can go their website look for their contacts : otter.com.my

Try looking for their Car Care product range.
