why all the hairline crack happened in one area only ? Was the lens being detail before this ?

i borrow my sis my car for 6 months i get back just realised one shakehead.gif i also surprised why got so obvious "line" dividing the affected area and non affected area laugh.gif so far i have tried:

Plastx meg ( no effect)
Toothpaste ( because why not laugh.gif )
based on my molesting i feel that the problem came from within the lens and not on the exterior side. 6 months and my previous shiny clear lens is ruined doh.gif sweat.gif

lets be honest: have you stick on those silly ah beng tints? or any tints/sticker before?

no headlight tint but the car does come with that crappy eyelid stuff doh.gif It's a second hand car bought from car dealer so sweat.gif update * asked my sister and she did give to some bangala shop do headlight polish doh.gif

user posted image

Because it kinda obstruct the light so i just remove it with a knife and goo gone for the residue biggrin.gif
oh ya not my car i just google myvi eyelid laugh.gif

Chronology goes as follows

- last year december did projector retrofit by a forumer here ( Didn't put HID yet just put the projector laugh.gif )
- polished my headlight with plastx and seal with headlight protection myself (still clear but have very minor hazing)
- removed the stupid bloody eyelid and cleaned with goo gone and reapply headlight protection
- February borrowed my car to my sister till last sat take back
-Feb- august (???) polished by bangala as my sis told sweat.gif
- Currently - Ruined lens doh.gif

ok this seemed like a case of "having a problem, then making it worse trying to correct it"

things like this, sorry to say you were "cooking" the headlamp via convection (if my science is still correct, do correct me if i am wrong)
oh and projector retrofit? speaking of making matters worse.
let this be a lesson to you: please avoid HID/projector retrofits. (and those silly eye lids)

so, chances are there is no hope but to replace the headlamp.
that is my opinion, feel free to find a second opinion.
*
i also feel that way laugh.gif expensive lesson tho laugh.gif btw my projector never put HID cause lazy laugh.gif i suppose is the polishing by unskilled people and probably extreme exposure to sun for that 6 months causes it to deteriorate that fast sweat.gif i also noticed alot of swirl and scratches on literally whole car. WTF shakehead.gif

TLDR- never borrow car to anyone that don't bother to take care of it laugh.gif

btw thanks man for the insight laugh.gif time to hunt for potong headlamp liao brows.gif

np, good luck in your hunt, be it a detailer that may be able to correct it (i doubt, or the service charge is probably more expensive than a half cut headlamp) or as you said, half cut headlamp.

hahaha yeah now hunting for half cut or maybe ori depends budget tongue.gif now need to do paint correction again tired vmad.gif vmad.gif

today i was chatting with my buddies about pressure washer and hose thingy then he shoot me a random question about why his (and my house tongue.gif ) water hose keep getting detached from the tap when a spray nozzle with on/off is used. which means the water pipe could not sustain the pressure build up and "pop" detached laugh.gif i never bothered about it before but now that it is discussed i am also curious about the solution. if my understanding is correct we need
-a good hose
-tap adaptor that lock the hose onto the tap
right sifus?

*sorry out of topic but since it is hose used for car washing so i guess it is somewhat relevant right icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi,

From my understanding, the process is as follow. Hope I got it right.
Wash > claying > wash > sealent > wax

If after the above process, can I do claying say monthly without waxing? Meaning can claying be done more frequently?
*
for me if got significant amount of fine swirl etc *cause i am lazy to correct abit abit laugh.gif * i will use mild polish polish first biggrin.gif so for me wash->clay-> rinse-> polish *optional* -> wax.
no sealant yet cause i still thinking wanna buy wat sealant laugh.gif
