So

I read a topic on here about wet sanding to restore your headlights and thought to hell with it, I will give it a go

This is the before shot, you can't see it too well but the passengers headlight was a mess and the drivers looked pretty good



So I went at it, 1500 to start, then worked out all the marks from the 1500 using 2000 and went on to finish with some of that Plast-X and a bit of polish/wax, got to say massively impressed with out they've come out, just the drivers look a bit tosh now in comparison so I need to do that one this weekend

Not a bad job, I used the 3M kit the other week that i got a while ago and was stunned with the results, easy quick and all for a tenner.

Have you put some uv protector on afterwards as you'll need to.

Voorhees, I've not used any sealant but I could do with going over again with the 2000 grit so I might do it after
