• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Our 1999 Honda headlamps had got a bit hazy and basically knackered. So much so that chances were it would fail the beam test on its MOT. Not cheap to replace either.

So armed with some Micro-Mesh in about 30 minutes both headlamps were restored to their former glory. I can thoroughly recommend Micro-Mesh. Well, if it's good enough for RAF Tornado canopies !!
 
Funny as I was looking at some last night. Are your headlights made of glass or some form of plastic?
 
Yes it's really good stuff, working though the grits will produce a clear mirror finish, makes acrylic pens shine.

It has to be plastic/acrylic etc. Micro-mesh does NOT work with glass.
 
As far as I know there are two problems with plastic headlamps.
The first is simply a build up of traffic film which can get stubborn to remove and the latter which is more serious is an attack into the surface of the plastic which maybe a combined traffic film and UV deterioration.

My MOT man grumbled year after year about my headlights so for the last MOT I had to get vicious with them to get under the crazed surface using 400 grit abranet and then progressively polishing back to transparency with metal polish and T cut. They came out OK but nothing like a good as my spare left hand drive headlight set set that I use for holidays in EU.
