How Do You Fix Chips On Lights & Windshield?

Merc-Skycap · 11-01-2009, 11:12 PM

Hi guys,

I was cleaning my car earlier and noticed there were some minor chips on the front windshield and front lights. Also a few over the hood.

What is the best way to fix them if they can be fixed?

Thanks!

For the windshield, Griot's Garage offers a chip fix kit for a DIY solution. As for the lights, chips in the plastic have to be treated differently. About the only way that I know of to minimize them is wet sanding followed up by a quality polish to remove as many scratches and swirls as possible. I assume "over the hood" means paint chips. This would require yet another fix. Dr. Color Chip is one way. Finding a good honest detail professional in your area is another. Good luck.
