junkyardjeff Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago The windows for my 65 Wildcat are fogged up and can it be buffed out.
Mark Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Doesn't hurt to try...if things don't work out, look for glass from a reissue '66. You might luck out and find someone on eBay parting one out. Or, try to find an open, started, or damaged one, and get a new interior, engine, and chassis too.
junkyardjeff Posted 14 hours ago Author Posted 14 hours ago I am watching for parts on eBay and have found a stock steering wheel but no glass so far,I will get it ready to assemble and wait for parts. I do have a unbuilt engine coming since the engine in it has the stacked injectors and headers,I want this one stock
bobss396 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I would start wet sanding with a polishing kit. It may depend on how it was fogged. With CA glue, YMMV. Start with around 2000 grit up to 12,000 and see if it improves. 1
dphipps Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I have touched up CA fogged windows with Meguires PlastX plastic polish before and had good results, however it was never this severe. As said above some fine sanding before polish might be needed. I'm kind of curious what it would look like with some Future clear over it

peteski Posted 36 minutes ago Posted 36 minutes ago I'm curious as to how the fogging happened. Going by the shape of the fogged area of the "glass" it seems to have been removed from an assembled model and only and only the the exposed "glass" area got damaged. Could it have just been sprayed with Dullcote? It wouldn't have fogged up like that just by itself.
blizzy63 Posted 7 minutes ago Posted 7 minutes ago Last time I saw something like that on clear window glass was the effects of excessive clear lacquer... I would at least attempt to restore with my old Novus plastic polishes. I always used them on old kit clear window/windshield glass.
