Honda Accord Headlight Restoration
Well, we had a customer come into the Honda dealership where I work for some service work, and she asked if we could do anything about her headlights. Usually when there is a question about something detail related, I'm the one that people come to, so naturally, I was asked to fix her headlights. Her car was at the dealer for a couple of days, so I had the chance to look at the headlights before doing the work. Now, the only real "headlight kit" I have is the Meguiar's consumer headlight kit, and I knew after seeing these headlights that it would take more than PlastX to correct them. Ahhh, what to do?! Time to do a little experimenting. I don't know if anybody has done this yet or not, but I used M105 with a 3 inch microfiber DA cutting pad to clear up the oxidation. Perfect! I sealed them afterwards with Rejex. Have a look!
Passenger side before
driver's side before
passenger side after M105 with 3 inch microfiber cutting pad on G110v2 speed 4
50/50
driver side after
both sides done
They turned out very well. I was quite impressed. I think I could have given the passenger side headlight probably 2 more passes, but it was OK. Only took about 25 minutes to correct and seal both headlights, including the time it took me to go to the mechanic's area to use compressed air to blow off the pad (we don't have compressed air in the detail area). I don't think the customer has come to pick up her car as of yet, but I'm sure she will be very pleased with it. Thanks for looking!
