Polished Headlights Pics

Although not the worst condition I've seen, my headlights almost made my car fail it's safety test. Anyway, I took some Turtle Wax rubbing compound to them the other weekend and here's how it went...

Much better, but it looks like it could use some wet sanding to get the scratches out.

Yep some 2000 grit would help even more.

Looks really good. Nice job.

As mentioned, do a wetsand first and then follow it up with some plastic polish.

Good work so far.

i like starting with just the heavy compound and a hi speed buffer...(( i cheat and use an angle grinder and a stiff cloth pad, Works GREAT))


...... My 2₵ :laugh:.....

What applicator did you use?, the lenses look a little scratched in the last pic

I'm gonna try a buffling wheel like stated above.

Big improvement. I sanded mine and then ended up getting a new passenger light due to my accident. Now i want a new drivers side because the wetsand just can't touch a new light. Still, i loved them when they were both wetsanded.
