OldSch88L Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I just saw these for sale for a steal on my local Jeep Club FB page, I'm really interested but the condition of the covers suck... Anyone knows of a way or product that could work on restoring them and making them white again? The only trick I know is water sanding and buffing, but I don't want to mess up the logos...Thanks!

eaglescout526 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Retro bright. Give that a shot on one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleless Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Wet sanding will definitely take the logos off, you are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a technique the vintage gamers and computer guys use to de-yellow their tan or white plastics. Give it a search on the you tubes and quite a few people will pop up with ways to do it. What you need really is warm water, UV light of some sort and some strong isopropyl I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSch88L Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Well,gotta love marketplace... I was the first to reply that I wanted them and the seller sold them before I could get there... However, I did stumble upon these; I think they give a similar retro vibe as the Marchals... What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they use a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide + UV light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? Hard pass. I have some round Eagle Eye lights. Very cheap chinese crap. Would not buy anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleless Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Yeah, real Marchals will blow china crap out of the water, both performance- and coolness-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
