Headlight Polishing Kits ? Which one ?
Anyone have experience with those Headlight Polishing kits ??
I have a set of Headlights that I want to restore.
So far I been told to try the Novus Spa kit, I heard nothing but good things about it.
I just tried some Meguairs liquids to restore the Headlights along with a Power Ball but I dont really see much improvement.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Yeah, wetsanding is the way to go. The Headlight Restoration kits even say something like "For some cases, wetsanding with 2000 grit will be necessary", and most of the time it is.
Then just polish them up.

i used wet sand (1000-2000 grit) then buffed with meguires plastx and they arent like new, but a whole lot better. Also buy some headlight sealant from a good body shop supply store or they will fade again.

I believe a sealant isn't necessary if you purchase the novus spa kit. One of the steps involves applying something to protect them from future fading. I've read of some people applying high temp clear to their headlights, but I'm sure better options are available.
