Gave my car a proper clean on Saturday - 4 hours of TLC, inside and out. Looked great when I was finished (and then it bloody rained overnight, leaving it filthy again - looks like the rain was full of Sahara dust or something! :crying
Anyway, I bought some Poorboys World SSK1 light Swirl remover (yellow) to see if I could rejuvenate the paintwork a bit. I tried it out on the boot lid (trunk lid for our US friends) and it's good stuff - going to do the whole car next time I think.
Having recently put in LED angel eyes, I'd noticed how misty my headlights were looking and wanted to see if I could get them looking better. I'd seen the posts about sanding them, which looked like quite a time consuming job, but thought as an initial step I'd clean them and then use some 'Mer' polish on them, which is pretty good at removing road tar and general gunk. That didn't noticeably brighten them, unfortunately. Then I thought that, since it's a very light abrasive, I'd see whether the SSK1 would improve matters. Well, the headlight on the left has been rubbed with SSK1 on a foam applicator pad, whilst the one on the right hasn't... what do you think? (have deliberately left as a large file so people can zoom in...)
