Headlight reflectors + Mothers Powerball and silver polish

[29ModelA]

My car originally had the 2 bulb reflectors, and the original headlights looked REALLY roached. The housings are solid rust, and the lens was broken out of one, and filled with coon crap, and the other the lens was intact but it was also full of dirt and coon crap.

I bought a set of 28/29 headlights from a member here that were the single bulb type, I planned on getting some different reflectors for them but thought I would try an experiment if my originals looked like they had a chance. I have a Mothers Powerball for my drill that I use on my Harley. I grabbed my silver polish I bought as well.

I opened up and cleaned up my old lights and yanked the reflectors. They looked really bad initially, but after some scrubbing looked like there was a chance. I did the worst one first. I only spent about 5 mins on each reflector as I really should have had a helper to hold them solidly.

The one on the left was initially much, much worse than the one on the right.




I think they turned out well considering the circumstances and will be using them after all. I think with just a little more time on them they will look even better. I thought I would pass this along and maybe save some guys time and effort!
