DIY Part 1 : Polish Signal Lens & Adding Reflectors.

The long awaited semester break has finally come ! so while waiting for my part time job response I've read through one thread on olskool.org it was about cleaning and polishing lenses.

Jadi... apa tunggu lagi, I started taking all the lamps and lenses out around 5 pm I know its already late tapi takpe lah buat je.



then start cuci lenses and bulb holder



While waiting for the lenses to dry, I start working on the bulb holder, clean it and dry it thoroughly before applying chrome spray on it, so the chrome will act as a reflector which will create a brighter surface that will reflect the bulb's light.



After that I start working on polishing the lenses, Meet the Super Duper Polishing Machine LOL (You can blame rossobloggy for the name of the polish machine). Credits to Rossobloggy/Amar because I took the idea from his blog hehe.

Im using brake fluid (minyak brek) for my polishing agent, actually there is a lens polish liquid sold in hardware store but I was out of budget so break fluid is an alternative to lens polish. Caution, brake fluid is really sharp and can irritate skin.



After polish ! hehe






Nampak nya tak sempat siap polish and clean sume lens today. so kena continue tomorrow. sbb hari dah gelap. hm
