WRITE UP: Cleaning those pestky foggy headlights (56k, just be patient)
Yesterday I finally got a chance to take a real good look at my headlights and found that they had a disturbing foggy layer of who knows on it. As you can see:
Some before pixors of only the passenger headlight because I had already started on the driver side when I decided to take pix to do this write up...
After putting some elbow grease in with a fine grit sand paper (preferrabily 1500 grit) and some water...Oh, these are the driver side headlights after the first time around with the wetsanding:
And after the second time around the headlights came out looking as such...(Recommended to wetsand for a second time to make sure all foggy residue is off)
Finally, when you have put so much effort in sanding the foggy stuff off your lamps you get to give them that shine you have always wanted your headlights to look!
With these waxing products I have given them the shine they have in the following pixors...
That's all folkz! Questions = welcome!
