ofmgwtfbrb!

wheres the tech yo?

 

whats the point.

 

Where's the write-up?

 

Pictures Updated.

 

It would be great if there was a write up to go along with the pics. Next spring I am looking to clean my headlights up.

 

Wooh what did you use to get that?

 

where is the write up man ...but props these are the best results i have seen so far for cleaning headlights.

 

Yay.

Pictures of clean headlights.

Brilliant!

 

did you want to tell us how you did it/how long it lasted?

 

you dont have to remove the lights from then car most of thehaze is all outside just start with 1500 grit sand paper and da scuff real good go to 3000 grit wet sand the buff with rubbing compound looks brand new

 

in for write up

 

very nice job, but where the hell is the write up, what products did you use or else this thread will be a complete FAIL

 

These were a pair i just did for a customer. It isn't a DIY, just needed to post the pictures up for him so he could see how they came out.

If you look @ my sig. Retrofitting is my game.

 

i would also be interested in doing the same. can u do a write up?

Start wetsanding with 1000 grit, then 1500, and finally 2000. Finish off with a buffing of a rubbing compound.

Word... 1,000 grit will take off a lot of the hazing creating by UV rays from the sun.. 1,500 grit will help take down the scratches created by the 1,000 grit sandpaper. Hitting it with 2,000 grit sandpaper will help remove most major, visible scratches.. Using 3,000 grit is totally pointless and a waste of time. Make sure you wet-sand. Use a soft dura-block, wrap the sandpaper around it, and have a spray bottle filled with water available. You wanna keep the headlight and the paper wet at all times...

A buffing compound like Meguiars Diamond Cut 2.0 works great! Be careful: you can burn the plastic, keep the RPM's at about 1,000 with light/medium pressure if you have a nice adjustable speed polisher, and keep the headlight lens relatively 'wet' with compound.

 

Hahaha, I often make threads to show people things.

 

i have done prob 10 sets of headlights in past year always started with 1500 and then 3000 grit wet then buffed always turn out great
