I use a Turtle Wax kit with a few different compounds of wet sand sponges, followed up by some 3m polish. I'm in Japan and it's summer...It's SUPER HOT and humid !
@@brown911 Hi Daniel, Thanks for the info about the Turtle wax kit. I used a 200 yen kit from Daiso but the lens is already turning cloudy again just a few months later. I know Japanese summer because I live just up the road from you in Sakuragaoka. It's just that it looked a bit cloudy and cool when you were filming.
@@sandormccann2546 Hello neighbor ! As you know the Japanese heat and UV will damage (burn) the outer layer of plastic quickly. I just sand my headlights a couple times a year. Some people recommend using a UV clear paint, but I've yet to try that as sometimes the clear coat spray cans just make a mess, plus bugs and dirt getting on the paint. The Turtle Wax kit had some UV treatment liquid, but I used it up and don't remember it offering a lot of extra protection.
@@diyforlife2809 We worked for ECC at the same time for a while. I was a part timer on Sunday mornings. Thon Scotsman whose dead trees you cut up for firewood. Yes, the UV protection liquid seems to offer little protection at all. I still have the polishing compound though so I will redo the treatment when I get back to Japan in a few days.
Very nice video. Straight to the point and we'll detailed. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video. This is a necessary maintenance job on these cars.
Thanks, Dan! Appreciate this.
what is the torque on bumper cover bolts?
I don't recall any bolts, just screws. Just 'snug' should be fine.
Good quick job!
Thanks, it's fun to take car apart and dig into the crevices !
What did you use to polish the headlights?
Looks quite cool and cloudy. What's the temperature like just now?
