Which wet & dry paper
« on: November 18, 2017, 10:49:34 pm »
Was going to get some Halfords 2000 grit paper for the last grade before polishing the headlights with compound but having read the reviews it doesn't sound very good.
Any recommended makes that will last, don't need loads of it.
Cheers

@Lewo

I used 800 grit and polished out two sets of gti lights with great results and sold both sets over a year ago but if you're not using a machine polish then I'd go for 1000 or 1200 grit paper  :happy2:

Are they yellowing? Mine where quite badly yellow when I bought it, I used 1200 then 2000 then 3200 I think then machine polished after and they came up Chrystal clear.
