DIY Restoring your glazed headlights!
 

Good job man. I did the 2000 grit wet sand, wax method on my teg. Looked brand new after. Just use the weight of your Hans to sand till the lenses fog up then wash, dry, wax. Boom :)

Hey my old hood bra.



I've restored a lot of headlights and wjlhat I do is wetsand with 1000, then, 1500, then 2000. You have to be very smooth with the sanding, use water with dish soap in it and go on one direction and constantly pour water/dunk the sand paper. You have to take your time with each grit, its not a quick process. And make sure between each grit clean the headlight with a clean towel and water. Then use rubbing compound and buff the headlight, then use plastix and buff the headlight again. They come out perfect.


Also, just take the headlight off, makes it so much easier.

Lol I just did this. Gotta make my car a little better before I try to sell it.

a friend of mine does restoration in head lights and did mine he told me that the lights will always go back but to make it last longer he used a uv protectant spray a few coats of it to make it last nice write tho

X2.

Also try using a polishing wheel with a drill or power tool and use Rubbing Compound or Meguiar's Plastx. Don't buff the lens too quickly though or you will burn it. Both always worked great for me. If you do sand you want to sand with the highest grit possible to minimize making deep marks in the plastic lens. The polish is what takes out the marks and makes the plastic as clear as possible. I have been doing this for years.

Great write up man.

I need to restore mine badly. Great write up. I think I may find this project necessary this weekend.
