Attempted to fix pitting, worked, slightly, but ran into something else

[fiftytakedowns]

Well, I was disappointed that some lights I bought had more pitting than anticipated, I decided to do some reading and tackle the project.

My friend and I firstly cleaned the lights with scratch-x and rubbing polish, hoping it would do something to remove the pitting.

This did little, but I was next going to do the clear coat that other members described as successful.

before I sprayed the clear, I rubbed the lights with a wet towel, and noticed that the water Made ALL of the pitting go away, however, it dried up, and returned the lights to their normal state.

nextt I Sprayed the clear, and it did successfully remove pitting, but after a minute, when they dried. the Clear was SLightly foggy, making the Glass look dim a bit.

I am hoping that there are more clear "clear coats" that I could use. Also how would I remove the clear from the Ellipisoids? or will there always be a minimal fog, no matter what the clearcoat.

If it matters I used a laquer clear coat.

Pictures will come

If you want them to look really nice and crystal clear then a urethane clear coat will make them look brand new.

Probably the easiest way to do that is with Spray Max 2-part Urethane Clear Coat. This is a 2-part clear coat in a spray can. Once you activate the hardener it has a life of about 24hours. You can put it in the freezer to extend the life to a few days. Goes for $20 at automotive paint supply stores.

To remove the old clear coat, use a razor blade and scrap it off. Clean up residue with acetone or alcohol.

you could also try polishing the clearcoat, but that can only help so much.
