CarlS Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The headlight reflectors on my C-17 are dull. They are silver plated, has anyone used silver polish or something else to recondition or do I need replate the reflectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 A careful polish with silver polish can work wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If polishing polish radial not circular. Do not use a coarse polish like "Silvo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Two legitimate old timers said Lampblack (available on line), and kerosene or turpentine. Yes, gentle straight radial strokes with a soft, mature, clean cotton cloth. Huh : that reminds me of a line from that old R&B song, "Love potion number 9". Remember ? ".............. smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink. I held my nose, I closed my eyes : I took a drink". Enough for now. But you remember what transpired, right ? Anyway, see if that potion Roy and Bill recommend will clean your reflectors. - C Carl Edited November 18, 2018 by C Carl Add "cotton" to clean cloth (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
