Hey, just got my S14 a couple months ago and new to the forums so i have a few questions:

-My headlights are yellowed as hell. Anybody know the best way to clean them?

-Also wondering if anybody could recommend a good engine degreaser/cleaner.

-How would I go about taking off the front nissan emblem (what would I use to fill the holes/paint it so it actually looks ok)?

-Anybody know where to find cam shaft covers and red, pre-cut vinyl to cover the yellow rear signals?

Thanks.

I heard bike shops carry special mild abrasive cleaner for plastic windscreens but search on it because I remember somebody had a good trick for it. I have used Mothers aluminum mag polish before.

looks like the search police got to this one first...





For outside polishing read this article/posting, http://meguiarsonline.com/foru...light

For cleaning the insides: take them out of the car and place them on a baking pan in a pre-heated oven. (lowest setting ... 200-250 degrees). Bake 'em until the glue becomes sticky ( 5 - 15 minutes). Take them apart and clean. Once you are done cleaning, re-heat to get the glue sticky and put 'em back together.
