Schwag one Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So the passenger side headlight is starting to oxidize and glaze over. Does anyone know if Adams has a solution that can fix my problem? Or any recommendations on what to use? Darn Toyota cars, the drivers side is perfect. I just started worrying about as I've been driving the Camry on lounger road trips for work. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I take the 4" Focus Pads on a drill with a round of SHR then FMP. Revive is also great to brighten them back up. Once you get the results you're looking for top them off with QS. You mind as well do both headlights instead of just the oxidized one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holder Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 If its just a haze you can try using the swirl and haze remover first. If not you can wet sand to with a 3000 grit sand paper. The swirl and haze remover with the 4" focus pad. Then apply some quick sealant to protect them. I use to use the kits from Walmart. But $25 for some sandpaper, polish and a pad doesn't seem worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04bluesilverado Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Toyota's headlight definitely haze up horribly. I recently removed the haze from a corolla for a friend of my g/f's mom. I wet sanded with 1500 grit then 2500 grit then shr and finished with fmp. let me see if I have some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) What If the headlights are scratched ? Just wet sand with 1500 grit til the scratch is gone then again with 3000. Followed by polishing with swirl and haze remover. Edited October 21, 2012 by A_HoderSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwag one Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks for the replies everyone, looks like I have another thing to do after detailing my wife's Tahoe. Toyota is by far the worst I've ever seen for hazing, I don't think it would bother me so much if it were both lights, but the drivers side is near perfect.

Vink70 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Also, once you finish them, be sure to spray them with a clear to prevent the hazing from coming back right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMDChase Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I used the same method JBlack suggested. It works wonders. Also, you dont have to tape around the headlights to protect the paint like some other manufacturers recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
