Title: Headlight color...
Post by: accordguy04 on June 17, 2011, 11:55:02 AM
So when I first bought my headlights they had this colored coating on them, that most new headlights have, that almost looked like gasoline (all kinda of diff colors reflected, but mainly purple with a hint of green).  My question is, is there any way to get that back?  I really liked the look of it, but now its faded and gone.   This is the best pic I could find to describe it:

It's called iridescence.  Don't know how you can get it back.  Maybe Greg can help.

Polish them, and it will come back.

Word, I'll have to try it out.  Thanks Mike, like I said the drivers side is startin to haze a bit as most aftermarkets do... so I'll have to see  what I can do.

Polish them, and apply a sealant once a month. Something like Opti-Seal should work well.
