  • M105 & M205 cleaning up some hedlights

    I already cleaned, dried and taped area off and ready for some Headlight Restoration with M105 & M205. They was pretty hazed and yellowed.


    Doing a little test spot to see if I could clear up and bring back a clear lens without having to wetsand. This is with M105 & a wool pad.


    Switched to a light cutting/polishing pad and lightened up on pressure and speed still using M105 to bring out a little more clarity.


    Did one last polishing step almost like jewling, but going for the clearest lenses possible. Switched to a polishing pad and M205 on slow speed and very light pressure with plenty of product.


    Now for the marker lamps.


    Same technique followed.


    Taped removed and time to repeat for other side.


    Condition of passenger side.


    Before and what I started with.


    After! Polished, Clear and 2 coats of Meguiars Headlight Protectant.


    Thanks for looking!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Night and day difference. Looks like you have been busy while you have been away.
