Headlight and Windshield Polishing - Toyota Celica, 1.8L, 2000
I decided to polish the headlights. An acquaintance offered his services. I didn't refuse. I arrived and we did it) I
'm happy with the effect, it's not very visible in the pictures, but in reality it's just a thrill - as if new headlights. Although they were not yellow, they were slightly unclear ...
I have been tortured for a long time by my wipers. They have been tormenting since I bought them to replace those that were in the car when I bought it. Having bought two wipers (850 rubles), quickly installing them, I was delighted, frameless, improving the look of the car. The old ones did not wash at all, they left stripes. Included to check these. They started jumping and making a very annoying (I understand in the future) sound. They told me - they will get used to it. I thought okay. On the same day, I went to Krasnaya Polyana (100 km there and 100 km back) at night, it was raining, the sound did not go away, it greatly irritated everyone in the car. Exhausted by these sounds, I came home tired. So I drove for a long time, I can say I'm used to the windshield wipers and their terrible sounds.
There was an opinion that they were jumping because the glass was not polished. I decided to go to a friend who polished my headlights.
I decided to polish.
Polished glass, polish "3m" is also taken. The effect on the eye was slightly noticeable, looking outside into the car, it seemed that there was no glass. The water began to drain off him more easily. But the main thing for which I polished the glass did not go away. The wipers continue to jump. There are a couple of options left: change the wipers, change the bend of the floods. Now I'll try the first option)))) Price tag: 200 ₽ Mileage: 150,000 km
In the second photo, the left (right if in the car) headlight is polished, and the second in line)
And I decided to replace the headlights completely, I was afraid to polish, and I thought it wouldn't make much sense. I decided to put angel eyes, without xenon they would not shine at all. The old headlights were sold and the replacement itself was not expensive.
IMHO it is necessary to polish from time to time all the same. Otherwise, they throw in KAMAZ trucks and go as if without light ... Angel Eyes are certainly better than a drain, also in the plans, but with diodes. The main thing is that under email. hydro corrector fit ...
Thanks for the comment. I also think it's the wipers. I have a chtoli rebox, now I will bypass this company =)))
There was the same trouble with the windshield wipers - I put some Japanese ones (ALSO FOR 850))) - I changed them to BOCSH and everything was fine!)))) I DID THE FLOODING AND CHANGE THE GLASS - IT WAS NOT HELPED!)))

Duc here's how it's done - grinder ... stole the technology from you :-)
By the way, IMHO is a necessary procedure from time to time. This also applies primarily to headlights, as dirt lingers on them, and flies quickly on freshly polished ones =)
We need the right hands =))
I would not risk mine =)))
By the way, in principle, there is a sense =)))
I am not strong in them, I only saw that there was a liter bottle with the inscription 3m ...
Don’t believe Yarik, those who say "get used to it"! I somehow gave 1000 r per set, immediately threw it out, like I also got used to it, went and bought a CHAMPION with a frame and generally forgot))
As a result, I bought a champion with skeletons, it’s an ass all the same ... I still don’t get my hands on new floods ...
There were no such problems. To be honest, it didn't help much at all.
On Kaldino the same situation, the glass is intact, but worn out by time (((
I bought a new one, lies waiting. This is the only option normal
Tell me, what about driving at night? Doesn't gleam or grow cloudy in the opposite light?
And then I have small scratches on my frontal, so I want to polish ... and all my friends frighten with such passions)))
Well, as I understand it, yes, I just saw often signs, "glass matting". I guess polishing first, then matting
To be honest, polishing glass is not the best idea. Then they need to be matted chtoli, because shine will appear. I think we need to contact those who know and are engaged in such things. In my case, today it is better to buy a new one, in yours to look for options from professionals.
good day!
I have a question, have you ever polished the windows of old cars - GAZ 21, GAZ 20, ZAZ 965, Moskvich 401, Moskvich 407, etc ... motorcycles Java 350 ... K 750?
The fact is that I have old cars ... 50-60 years old. and finding a new glass is quite problematic, and sometimes very expensive. And I just thought to polish the silt at home or give it to someone ... The glasses have faded over 50 years and, oddly enough, have scratched ... Frontal and rear, well, side ones.
So I want to ask for advice on what is the best way to do it (by what formula than to polish, moisten with water, do holograms appear on the glass, etc.), maybe you have articles or useful links?
Thank you. With all respect, Andrew.
