Nothing spoils the look of a car like dull, worn headlights. Lighting electrical equipment of modern cars, especially imported ones, are very expensive. For this reason, car owners are in no hurry to replace them and postpone such events for a long time.
Necessary
- - polishing paste,
- - accessories for polishing.
- - adhesive sealant.
Instructions
Step 1
However, thanks to innovative technological developments, a headlight repair service has appeared on the market, which, if the owner has certain skills, you can not resort to and restore lighting devices yourself.
Step 2
The peak of the popularity of headlight glass repair and polishing falls on the end of the last century. Then there was a slight decline, and now this type of service is gaining momentum again.
Step 3
When self-restoring the pristine appearance of lighting fixtures, it is necessary to decide in which direction to carry it out.
Step 4
So, for example, dull glass, on which scratches and chips have formed, is subjected to a polishing procedure using an abrasive paste and tampons. During work, the surface of the headlamp is intensively moistened from the spray bottle.
Step 5
In cases where the optics fog up from the inside, the reflector with glass is placed in the oven, where it is heated to a temperature of 170 degrees, after which the mastic, with the help of which the glass is glued to the reflector, softens, which further greatly facilitates the disassembly of the headlight and its restoration:
- the glass is removable, - the old mastic is cleaned, - fresh glue-sealant is laid, - glass is inserted into the reflector.
Step 6
After an hour or two, after the sealing glue has completely dried, the reflector is installed in the headlight.
Step 7
Refurbishment of the lighting fixture in the niche of the car body takes a little more time, but it is not difficult, and every motorist can do it.
Step 8
The refurbished headlights will add attractiveness to the car by restoring the original luster of the optics.
