I am trying to restore my headlights.
I started by wet sanding them with 800, 1000, 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper.
When all shine was removed the headlight was all foggy.
Then I proceeded to polish them using a dual action polisher.
I used a medium pad with Sonax cutmax 6/4 and finished with a finishing pad and 3D One.
(As this was my first ever time doing this, I started out very conservatively, moving the pads quickly over the surface of the headlight and I did not let the polish dry. I think this led me to go over the headlight 4 or 5 times by the time I was happy with it.)
However, inspecting the headlights under a light shows that it is far from perfect. Swirls and light scratches can be seen. See videos below.
What do you guys think? Is this it? Should I call it a day?
Or do you think I can achieve a much better result (provide me with some instructions)?
How I did the job...
Results under a flash light.
Results with headlights turned on.
Thanks!
