The most important thing to do before you start is to prepare your vehicle by taping off the areas around the headlights that could get damaged by the sanding. I used painter’s tape and some old newspapers to cover the hood, bumper, and fenders. This will prevent scratches and scuffs on your paint job, and make the cleanup easier.
The sanding part is the most tedious and messy, but also the most effective. You have to use four different grits of sandpaper, starting from the coarsest to the finest, and wet-sand the headlights until they are smooth and clear. You have to be careful not to apply too much pressure, or you could damage the plastic. You also have to rinse the headlights and the sanding discs frequently to remove the dust and debris.
The polishing part is the easiest and most satisfying. You just have to apply some compound to the pad, attach it to your drill, and buff the headlights until they shine. The compound works like magic, and removes any haze or swirl marks left by the sanding. You can see the difference right away, and the headlights look like new. Add a coat of clearcoat spray to maintain the clarity for longer.
I am very happy with this product, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to restore their headlights. It is a simple and affordable way to improve the appearance and safety of your vehicle. Just make sure you prepare your vehicle well before you start, and follow the instructions carefully. You will be amazed by the results!
I did the washing, the taping, the spraying... it didn't take long at all to realize it was going to look better. I could have stopped at the first grit and it would still be an improvement. Each additional grit that feeling just intensified. I know, so impassioned over such a small thing. I get it. However, the transformation was nothing short of amazing! Her headlights looked almost brand new. There were a few spots with deep scarring from rocks, presumably. I might have been able to go back to the initial grit and get a few more out. The bulk of what remained was way too deep to even bother. It wouldn't make any difference. It was already, as I'd previously suggested, the greatest transformation I could have imagined or expected.
I'm going to order another kit for my motorcycle. It has taken a few hits in its years. Buy this product!!! ... I mean IF your headlights are getting bad, of course.
