well i just got my set of headlights and theres like a thick like substance not sure what it is but i was thinkin of wetsanding but people say that should be your last resort. What do u guys think. Wetsand em or try plastic polish?




thanks

 

plastic polish... i would agree sanding should be a last resort

 

orbital + plastic polish =

if it doesn't remove all of it, then wetsand with 1000 grit and soapy water. work your way up to 2000 grit and plastic polish with the orbital again.

 

if i do use plastic polish or wetsand.. would doing it by hand have the same outcome as using a buffer/sander

 

just get the polish, it will remove it.....but use a orbital buffer on slow or youll burn the plastic

Also you can use regular car wax and the buffer...i used nano wax by eagle one....some good stuff

 

If youre lookin for a good buffer for this, go to wal mart and buy the coleman 6 inch, single speed buffer they have. I did this with mine but I wet sanded first. Came out great

 

i used a good buffer with 3m rubbing compound after wetsanding it with 2000 grit...came out looking brand new

 

thanks guys.. now i must save for a buffer lol

 

Wetsand with 1500 grit.
Wetsand with 2000 grit.
Clean, and dry completely.
Few coats on rubbing compound (not exactly necessary).
Wipe clean.
Few coats of plastic polish.
Wipe clean again.

Done.
