How My Headlamps Were Cleaned By Artisans.(pictures) by DjAndroid: 9:47am On Sep 07, 2014
I went to used spare parts market in Anambra state to replace some bad bushings of my ride.

On arrival, some hustlers approached me, each of them offering to fix one or two things on the ride. But the one I gave attention was the one that offered to clean my headlamps.

At first I doubted if the headlamp could be cleaned because I was planning to buy a new one. Then the mechanic that was fixing my bushings asked me to allow the guy to clean the headlamps with the assurance that they will look like new ones after the cleaning.

Then I agreed. The pay was =N=600.
After the cleaning, I was surprised at what I saw.

The first picture is before the cleaning.

The guy used razor to scrape off the surface then sprayed one chemical on it, resulting in instant shine.

Unfortunately what you're being suckered into is akin to arguing with a bucknaked lunatic on the street about fine Parisian clothes.

It'll end up being a waste of time and effort.

Brilliant work on those headlamps. Looking at the "before" picture, I would have thought they were past restoring.

We learn a new thing every day.

Whitening toothpaste works as well too. Some brands better than others to remove the oxidization and impurities from the headlights.

Is there anything that can prevent it from oxidizingg again? Since the original coat that was meant to prevent it has been scraped off.
As I heard the same issue might re-occour in 4months time.

Anyone with any suggestion or wax undecided
