Headlight lens needs clean inside

Nodferatu · 20-04-2019 06:28AM #1

I have a 2010 Seat Leon and one of the headlights looks a tad bit dirty and dusty on thr inside. I wanted to take off the headlight and take apart the glass (its actually plastic) and give it a good clean. However, I know headlights are sealed so what do I use to seal it back up? Any help with this greatly appreciated. Never done this before.

It's most likely oxidized on the outside. Cleaning the inside will do nothing. Needs to be finely sanded and compounded on the outside by someone who knows what they're doing. Will look brand new again if done right.

Yeah, do the outside first to make sure what you see isn't on the outside.

There are plenty of DIY on youtube and such resources.

Try cleaning it with toothpaste... if it comes up better then you can bring it to someone to do properly... or just use a cutting compound after the toothpaste since its nearly 10 years old.

€50 will have it done right. I got a lad in allenwood to do mine. Guaranteed for 4 years. Rubbing it with compound/will make it look nice but won't last very long.
