My turn (headlight save)

[THE BIG BUFFER]

Well this is what I started with:
A set of headlights on a 1996 Ford Contour



Here are some half and half shots. Forgot to get a full after shot but I'm sure you get the idea.

Re: My turn (headlight save)

Great save! Hate it when headlights are oxidized but love them when they are clear and scratch free!

Did this involve sanding ir did you strictly use a compound/cleaner?

Re: My turn (headlight save)

Thanks guys. Sorry about not posting my method I got called away.

After washing the lights I used a 2000 grit wet paper ( I use this grit for alot) untill I got a nice even "haze". I tend to sand, check, sand, check. I applied a nice bead of MEGs G12310 PlastX to the light and used a yellow Megs pad on rotary (Makita). Repeating this process till I achive the results I am looking for. I follow up when the polishing is done with a couple of coats of wax (NXT 2.0) Pretty easy to do really.

P.S.
As a side note I did try just the PlastX without the wet sanding but did not get the clearity I was looking for.
