Is there any way to remove bondo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Besides sanding, grinding and scraping, you can remove Bondo from your clothes and other porous items with fingernail polish remover (acetone). Test the cloth in an inconspicuous spot before you try this because it will also dissolve some fabrics. You may need to let it soak for a while to soften it enough. Acetone evaporates very easily and is flammable so it would be best to do this outdoors. ZipStrip will also remove bondo but it is even more likely than acetone to destroy fabric...Test FIRST!

What glue do you use for automotive body repair?

Asked by Wiki User

If it's a part that flexes and moves, nothing will repair it. Most polyurethane parts for cars are injection pressure moulded and contain about 5 % mould release agent. This is purposely done so you cannot stick anything to them.

How can you repair a leaking sunroof on a 1994 Saturn Sl2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I pulled my hair out on this when it happened to me, I replaced the gasket, poured draino in the gutter and finally wound up taking it to the shop where they used an air gun to blow out the gutter drains. Look at the bottom of your car about 2 inches in from the door you will see what is called the pinch weld for the uni-body. This pinch weld is where the sunroof gutters drain to, 4 total, one on each corner of the sunroof. If one of these is damaged you will have to straighten it out as best you can to allow the water to drain properly. Good luck

Is rust bad for you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it can kill you. Most rust contains strands of streptococcus. When streptococcus enters straight into the bloodstream the virus can eat away the skin on your body. For example, its likely you may wake up with half your face decayed off. IT IS BAD. THROW IT AWAY. Use surgical stainless steel. It doesn't rust.

Wondering if theres a safe and easy way to remove scratches and haziness from plastic headlight lensesI bought a used '05 toyota corolla CE and the headlights were all scratched and hazy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In order to remove the scratches and Haze on the plastic you must first wet sand using 1500 grit, then 2000 grit and lastly 2500 grit. Also use a soft block so the sanding is even.

The wet sanding will remove all of the heavy scratches and the haziness. Each step of wet sanding will result in a smoother surface which will be easier to buff up.

Once sanded the headlight plastic should be smooth and scuffed. You will then have to use a buffing wheel with a medium grit compound. This will bring the shine back to the plastic by removing the micro scratches created by the wet sanding.

Once you have a nice shine you can throw a coat of wax on them and wipe them down with a micro fiber towel.

I recommend calling a local car detailer or auto body shop. The usually charge around $125. Another option is buying new headlights.
