Refinished the Tail Lights

I forgot to take some before pics as always.. but I wetsanded the whole rear tailight section a year ago when I removed the Bird decal.

Needless to say.. i'm a lot better at this stuff this time around.

Don't mind those few deep imperfections and the residue.

Thanks guys. Colby, usually I would use system one.. but I actually just used Menzerna SIP on an orange pad. Then I used Menzerna Super Finish on a gray pad.

I sanded with 1000, 1500, then 2000.

Gotcha, I just remember a couple years ago when you suggested some to me. It worked awesome on the headlights on my sisters passat.

You can get a PC here..

http://www.showroomfx.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y

Basic pads you'll need are orange, white, blue.. whatever you'd like really. I use orange white and blue the most. They sell PC kits with pads, so check those out.

It's so easy to use a PC, it's almost impossible to mess up, unless you drop the damn thing on the car.

Colby, I still have the system one, and yup it's awesome.

I wanted to see what the menzerna was capable of.

Thanks again everyone!
