Ownership Verified: CraigB's Correct-Wheel-Drive Lesbaru (2013 Subaru BRZ)

You know that water is only for tapping and not for sanding, right? :p

I think *any* compound or polish works for lights generally, Novus #2 and #3 is probably the correct stuff though if you were buying for the first time. #3 is a heavy scratch remover and #2 is a polish, I have no clue why the numbering is backwards.

What exactly do you use to polish them? I have to polish some on a friends car so it will pass next inspection.

I used the Mother's Nu-Lens kit. At first I just tried using the polishing compound and buffer ball, but only got so-so results. Had to sand them to get the pitting and yellow out.

It was more than just water, it was soapy water I use to find holes in tires. 🤣

If they aren't bad, sure a little polishing compound will fix them. These certainly were showing their age and mileage.

Only the best! I can see it does actually say soap water now and not tap water, if your tap water was that colour I'd have more questions.

Very similar to the Auto Glym kit I used, the sandpaper was essential even on mine. It'll be no surprise that Project Farm did a video on these, although it's a bit old now.

Ah, I get the joke now. No doubt it's difficult to read my chicken scratch.

Wish I had seen that before buying, but the results are good enough. I'm going to keep an eye out for a low mileage replacement set. They come up on Marketplace often. Other BRZ/GT86/FRS guys seem to love to replace their headlights and tail lights with aftermarket more obnoxious units.
