Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2005Cleaning lenses
Anyone have a favorite recipe they would like to share as far as cleaning up old glass and plastic tail light lenses? Somehow I ended up with around 500 of them and they need pimping before I toss them on e-gouge. All Stude lenses will be saved! Bob40....next question is whether I want 200 radiators or not....lol > Anyone have a favorite recipe they would like to share as far as cleaning up > old glass and plastic tail light lenses? > Somehow I ended up with around 500 of them and they need pimping before I > toss them on e-gouge.

Plastic cleans up very easily with the same polish you'd use for paint. nate your local chain FLAPs may have a display near the polishes of little boxes of things to clean and polish with One is a glass polisher- and one is a lens polisher The glass polisher is the same thing used to take scratches out of windshields in a smaller amount I can't for the life of me remember who markets them though, but I could always go look On Fri, 04 Nov 2005 18:50:58 -0500, you wrote: >your local chain FLAPs may have a display near the polishes of little >boxes of things to clean and polish with [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >I can't for the life of me remember who markets them though, but I could >always go look is not the glass polish zinc oxide? --Shiva-- hm not sure-- cesium oxide maybe? whatever that is whatever it is--i used it to polish my trucks windshield- and it worked fine On Fri, 04 Nov 2005 20:10:42 -0500, you wrote: >hm not sure-- cesium oxide maybe? whatever that is > > whatever it is--i used it to polish my trucks windshield- and it worked >fine I want to paint on some car window glass with an air brush, and hate the thought of hydrofluoric acid to etch it.. am hoping that the polish will give enough tooth, I dont have to use lead based paint (funny it IS available still) to do so.. --Shiva-- Try rubbing down the window with rubbing compound. You dont want to use polish as polishes have oils in them. After rubbing clean the window thoroughly with ammonia,or spic-n-span then prep solvent. jimmijim I have had excellent results at cleaning clouded glass with baking soda. It also works on interior chrome and stainless where moisture has caused a moldy residue on the surfaces. > Try rubbing down the window with rubbing compound.
