Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / December 2007Re: Polish for plastic lights
Use plexiglass polish sold at your local AIRCRAFT SUPPLY. The old-fashioned sealed beam glass lamps were the best. As a matter of fact, they were mandated by law with separate bulb and lens being illegal. The original XKE had the present arrangement but was forced to eliminate the streamline outer housing, even though it was glass, much better than the plastic used today. Somebody must have paid off the politicians to get where we are today.

The rest of the world gets E-code lights with a sharper cutoff for less glare while we get a compromised beam pattern. They get easily replaceable glass lenses while we get sealed lens-and-reflector units with polycarbonate lenses that only last a couple of years. NHTSA has had its head up its collective a.s for years when it comes to automotive lighting with no signs of improvement any time soon. nate  Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel After seeing this I had to Google AIRCRAFT SUPPLY. I have never seen or heard of an AIRCRAFT SUPPLY store and the web site only shows on line shopping. > Use plexiglass polish sold at your local AIRCRAFT SUPPLY. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Per maggiori informazioni |For more info > https://www.mixmaster.it > > Use plexiglass polish sold at your local AIRCRAFT SUPPLY. > > > > The old-fashioned sealed beam glass lamps were the best. I'll second that. Styling has destroyed good low cost lighting. > I'll second that. > Styling has destroyed good low cost lighting. There is no such thing as good and low cost. See Walmart for example. HID's aren't cheap but they are far superior to anything else. >> I'll second that. >> Styling has destroyed good low cost lighting. > > There is no such thing as good and low cost.

You should be able to find plastic polish at small, private airports. They usually have a little "pilot's" shop. You might also find this stuff at an auto parts store or motorcycle shop. My first encounter was while serving in the Navy. Meguires (the wax and polish people) developed this plastic polish for the military to use on aircraft canopies. I've used it with decent results on both an old Caravan and my 1st gen Neon. |
