You sure you didn't buy a NEW headlight? That looks phenomenal!

LOL I didn't. If you look close enough (or if I were to take some macro photos) you can still see scratch marks that are deep into the headlight.

So what was your final process that accomplished those results? Nice job, btw!

Re: Advice Needed: Hazy/Cloudy Headlights

hi guys, first post here. was following the process on how to polish plastics. i got a fuel lid that is made of plastic and am trying to polish that.

however after wetsanding with 2000 grit, there are scratch marks all over, and application of PlastX by hand does not remove them (and does not return the plastic back to its original shine)

Is it because i did not use enough force to apply PlastX just like neo_phase?
