Are your headlights cloudy? While it may appear to only be a cosmetic issue to your vehicle, it actually can severely impact the amount of light your headlights are able to provide resulting in a risk to your safety. Reduced visibility can cause an accident and put you, other motorists and pedestrians at danger.
It’s no wonder our headlights become dirty and clouded as they are subjected to the elements including sun, rain, and snow and UV rays. Replacing a headlight can cost upwards of $100 but luckily there is a simple solution that you can do on your own at home using a Mothers Power Ball 4 Light Headlight Restoration Kit. The Kit includes a Polishing Tool, 8 oz. PowerPlastic®, two Restoration Pads and a microfiber towel and is designed for use on plastic and acrylic headlights. This easy to use product can clean yellowing, stains, scratches and smudges to restore your headlights to like new condition.
Using the kit, follow these simple steps to clean your headlights:
• First, mask off the paint surfaces surrounding your headlight lens, attach the PowerBall 4Lights®to any variable speed drill. Now tighten the drill chuck and set the speed to high.
• Apply a small amount of the cleaning product to the center of the PowerBall 4Lights®.
• Resting the crown of the ball on the lens, start the drill motor slowly to avoid slinging the product, and evenly distribute the product across the surface. Add small amounts of polish as needed.
• Work in small areas using a slow back and forth motion. Overlap the motions until the entire lens is clean and clear.
• For quicker polishing, angle the ball slightly for a few passes before going over it again with the crown.
• Complete the process by buffing clean with a soft microfiber or terry cloth towel.
Driving with cloudy headlights is dangerous so take a moment to check the headlights of the vehicles in your household and if they could use a cleaning, and you are up for a quick D.I.Y. project, stop into a Belle Tire location near you to purchase a Mothers Headlight Restoration Kit.
