in cars •  7 years ago 

DEAR STEMIANS!!


If your car's windshield now looks like it's covered by wax paper, it's safer if you learn on your own how to clean the car's headlights to extend the life of your vehicle.

Knowing the parts of your car headlamps will greatly help you towards the next step you should take. Then you will be able to disassemble and clean it to look bright again.


1.Know the lights so you know what to do.

Know the lights so you know what to do. If you notice that your vehicle's headlights are not as bright and as bright as before, try turning them on during the daytime.

It's important for you to know how much damage to find out which cleaning method is most effective, whether you need to take it to a more professional workshop, or if the lamp might need to be replaced.

Check if there is a scratch or scratch that may be a sign of a more serious problem.


2.Know the lights so you know what to do.

Clean the lamp with car soap. Small pebbles from the streets and dirt can make the headlights look dirty and fuzzy and it will be difficult to clean them.

Before you start looking for specific problems, try cleaning it first with warm water and car soap.

Clean the headlights and let them dry completely. Then you can check it again to find the problem.


3.Check if there is dew.

Check if there is dew. Yellowish stains caused by moisture can occur when layers of lamps are exposed to polycarbonate from light. So over time the glass will be covered by a dark yellow stain.

If that is the case, clean it up quickly and appropriately will be an effective way to slow the degeneration of the lamp, but it would be better to take it to someone more expert.


4.Look for yellowish stains.

Look for yellowish stains. Yellowish stains occur when all the hard layers on the lights begin to thin out and lose adhesion with by exposure to polycarbonate. The UV wavelength spectrum creates a new repeating unit in a carbon chain that absorbs blue light and produces a yellowish stain appearance.

If you notice a yellowish stain on the headlamps, you need to clean it in a more comprehensive way such as by using Rain-X or by using a compound to clean it.


5.Check if the glass part is peeling or cracking.

Check if the glass part is peeling or cracking. When the glass lamp starts to deteriorate, you will see spots in certain areas such as the upper areas or corners. The glass lamp can be peeled off. Finally, you will see cracks in the glass lights which means to be handled by a more professional person.

If this happens, you may need to replace the headlights or the damage will happen again, which will ultimately cost you more. In the meantime, clean it up as you can using the quick method and start looking for prices for new lights.


6.Check with a more professional person.

Check with a more professional person. Most are plastic bulbs and will show symptoms as described above. Glass lamps, such as those found on classic cars and older models, are more complicated and should be checked by professional technicians. If the glass is still installed, remove it and take it to the experts for inspection.


7.Prepare dry sandpaper.

Prepare dry sandpaper. To get good results, use fine sands either wet or dry. The 3M brand is a nice type, and at least you should have one sandpaper that has a rough surface (1500 or more) and a smoother surface (about 2000) to start cleaning your car's headlights. If you want to start with coarse sandpaper it's up to you.


8.Remove the light from the body

Remove the light from the body. Every time you use sandpaper around the car, you certainly do not want to paint your car scratched. To do this, use a shield around the lights to avoid scratching your car paint. You do not have to, but it is better and safer than you regret later.

Before you start sanding, you should clean it once more using a soft towel and a little alcohol. This will make it dry faster and you can continue your work.


9.Wet the sandpaper and start sanding

Wet the sandpaper and start sanding. Using a spray bottle or a small bucket, wet the lamp thoroughly with coarse abrasive sands. Do it with a bit of pressing and then sandpaper evenly, until you think it has been clean enough.

If a sign from the factory begins to appear, it indicates that the stain begins to fade when it has been sanded. Better yet, if you stop sandwiched.


10.Replace with sandpaper that has a rather smooth surface

Replace with sandpaper that has a rather smooth surface. After you have cleaned the lamp using rough sandpaper, switch to the sandpaper with smoother grit and repeat the process until it feels clean enough.

In a textured lamp where you can not see the bulb in it, you simply use sandpaper with a rough surface. The light will look blurry but it is not yellowish stain


11.RTake a little compound.

Take a little compound. After you finish sandpaper, it's time to clean it using a compound. Many brands of compound options are available, including McGuire, M105, and 3M brand compounds. Visit the auto parts store to see more types.

Compounds that have aluminum content will be very good for use as a front lamp cleaner of your car.
If you want to find another option, toothpaste can be a good substitute. Use toothpaste, whether containing peroxides, bleach, or other additives.


12.Use a compound using a kanebo rag.

Use a compound using a kanebo rag. Prepare kanebo, use a lump of compound, and apply on the lights and flatten. Apply and evenly flatten on the lamp. It will take less than five minutes or more to clean it up. Once you feel fairly flat, start to wipe it with a lap kanebo.

If you want to use a drill that uses kanebo, you can use a bit of compound by directly applied to the kanebo section in the drill, then start using in low rotation. Use with a little pressed slowly, slowly increase the speed, do evenly to all parts of the lamp. It is much faster than you do by hand.


13.Do it until the light looks clean

Do it until the light looks clean. Maybe you will feel the stiffness in your hands, because maybe you have to menggukannya many times until your lights clean again.

Do it until your light is clean and you feel satisfied. You can test the headlights by lighting them on the garage walls, or other flat surfaces.


14.Use adhesive plastics when necessary.

Use adhesive plastics when necessary. If you feel the need to cover your lights in order to keep them clean, you can use adhesive plastics such as the Bulldog brand and use a mask when using it that can be purchased at nearby workshops.

You can also clean it by bringing it to the workshop to make your car's headlamp longer, but it will cost more but can be different in each workshop.


Suggestion

There is also a piece of equipment that sells a package to clean the headlamps which also have many options for the surface of the sandpaper (with a value of 300, 600, 900, 2000, up to 4000). This will save you more time than if you had to prepare it one on one. Usually they have added a special compound to clean the headlights. The price ranges from Rp200.000. there are many types of things like 3M, Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, Sylvania, Headlight Wizard, Mothers, and many other brands.
There is also available to clean the windshield (made of plastic instead of glass). It will be much easier to use as your windshield cleaner. Try looking in the special workshops of small aircraft provider needs, the regular price ranges from Rp50.000.
If the glass lining has begun to erode a lot, do the cleaning with a sandpaper that has been removed to remove the stain due to the oxidation of the lamp, then dry by using a UV light transmitter with high strength. This will further add to the age of your car headlights.
Use rubber gloves so that the compound does not contaminate your hands.

WARNING

If you choose this method to clean your car's windshield, keep in mind that you must repeatedly perform this method if the problem with your headlights is very bad. Check the headlights every month. You can avoid to clean the headlights every month by exposing high-temperature UV rays to your car's windshield. Also keep in mind that whenever you use materials such as compound or toothpaste or sandpaper you will peel the UV layer that will instantly turn your lights into yellowish, you can also use UV light transmitters to save time as well.
