Polish is abrasive and will wear down the protective coating faster. So without adding a sealant on top, polishing alone is counterproductive.

The idea that you can use cola to clean your car's headlights is the sort of suggestion that slurs from the bloke down at the local pub who always gives advice on everything. Buying online can be a daunting task, so we want you to realize that there are zero risksin buying something and trying it out.Assuming you’ve acquired a humble old ‘fixer-upper’ and have the space, tools, time and money to restore it from boot to bonnet, it’s time to think about what work is required to reinstate its original charm and showroom shine. A debate that has long raged in the world of classic cars is whether to restore a car to its original condition or add your own flair and personality to the mix. This kit is for use by hand rather than with a drill, for people who would prefer it. It is just as effective as the Holts kit, but due to sanding by hand, it will take a bit longer. One wipe to new! Put a few drops on the included applicator, and wipe the trim or plastic. After just one wipe you will see the difference! Super easy to apply and will make your trim shine like new! To give you the best chance of performing a successful classic car restoration, here are some questions to ask yourself before diving into a new project.

Tape around the edges of the headlights. This is very important because the tape will protect surrounding paintwork from sanding pads that accidentally stray from the headlight. Do I have the skills and expertise to complete the work to a high standard? Welding and metalwork are just two of the skills you’ll need to restore a car. Invest in training courses or outsource jobs to achieve a great finish.To save on costs we’d recommend hiring these tools when they’re needed. Some of the tools require specialist skill and knowledge, so be prepared to get help with certain jobs or else invest in a training course to carry out the work yourself. Sanding. All the kits above come with a range of sanding pads with varying degrees of abrasiveness. Follow the instructions in your kit and work your way through the sanding pads, starting with the most abrasive through to the least. Both the sandpaper and headlights should be wet during the sanding process to keep the plastic cool and prevents grit build-up as you sand. Take your time and be fussy. But, while it’s true absolute originality will fetch a higher price when it comes to selling the car on, we think it’s better to go with your gut and inject personal touches as you go. The car should be modified to please you, not the next buyer, so don’t be afraid to choose the colours and design choices you like over those pre-assigned by the car’s original appearance. Mechanical Considerations Restoring a car is a big commitment, and it’s easy to underestimate things like material costs and the price of tools needed to carry out certain jobs. That’s why it’s important to do your homework before splashing out on an old car.

It’s worth giving yourself a budget and finding a car which suits it (in terms of the upfront cost and how much you estimate you’ll have to spend on it) rather than falling in love with a car and budgeting around it. That said it should also be a car that you feel excited about, as you’re going to be investing a lot of energy into it. If you spot signs of mould in your car’s interior, don’t write the car off just yet. Surface mould is actually easy to remove from the interior of a car using a regular cabin cleaning product like Simoniz Upholstery and Carpet Cleaner; simply apply the product to the mould and scrub away with a cloth. Be aware, though, that the presence of mould could indicate that the cabin isn’t watertight, and this will need to be plugged to stop mould spreading again in the future. Is Restoring an Old Car a Viable Option? This is a great option for semi-regular headlight upkeep and for minor headlight degradation. Being a 2-in-1 polish and sealant, all you need to do is apply it with a cotton or microfibre cloth to a clean and dry headlight. Rub it onto the headlight firmly until the plastic is clear. You then buff the headlight with a clean pad or microfibre.Even if an old car looks OK on the outside, you can almost guarantee there’ll be something than needs attention beneath the bonnet. When left to stand for a long period, moving parts seize due to corrosion and decay. Fluids such as transmission and brake fluid need to be changed at least every two years, or else the systems are liable to fail. If your old car has been left to rot in a shed for years, you might find you have to repair or replace most of its moving parts. What is my timeframe, and how much time will I need to devote to the project each week? Make sure the project doesn’t conflict with your other commitments. Remember, a complete and thorough restoration could take a year or more.
