Plastic Tail Light Restoration To Like New!! 1987 Olds 442: Video 52

I disassemble the 442 tail lights and sand and polish the plastic lens and plastic chrome trim. I use a 3M Headlight Cleaning Kit. It makes them look very close to new!!

Jairo Anzurez says:

Nice video!!!!!

Evan Spark says:

why would you sand the lettering off the tailights especially when your getn rid of em, your the type of dude to put those stupid wood steering wheels thinking your doing a good thing and shave door handles and take all emblems off! god you make me sick!!

What brand of wax did you use?

James Morphew says:

You are a liar it don’t make it shine I no done try it and it don’t work

Navi Daddy says:

That mother's, never dull and diamond brite truck box polish are the only products I use to polish metal and plastics. They are all great products.

Cory McEwen says:

Got a better trick I've used a few times. Wet sand the lens with 1000 – 2000. I used a red stained glass paint. I put it on light, then 2 heavy coats to where it almost ran but didn't. You'd never know it wasn't plastic. The only downside is, the light isn't quite as bright going through the lens. At night it is no problem, but during the day it is lighter.

Hector Garcia-Martinez says:

Can you restore the reverse lights and put up the video??

James W says:

Does 87 taillights have small cracks? I have same model year Cutlass Supreme, with cracks.

Mr Avila says:

In what order did u go, and
What we’re all the supplies?

William Leadingham says:

mine have the white stress marks at the top i wonder if this would help salvage them?! killer video and killer results

HAFF RODS says:

Watch out for that Hafrod guy, he's crazy. Lol. Nice job man. I have Cutlass tail lights that have been in a box for 25 years. I didn't know they were worth that much. I'm hoarding Cutlass parts in hopes that I end up with an 83 or 84 Hurst Olds one day

84HurstOldsDude says:

Hmmm guess im gonna have to polish my seat chrome covers on the Hurst/Olds
