go buy yourself some of blue magics headlight restore and look to find if u can get the novas plastic scratch remover (most likely u need to order it online) well on my headlight i started off with 300>400>500>600>800>1000>1200>1500>2000 wet sanding. if u done a good job after the 2000 the headlight lenses will be really clear when u pour water on them but if dry they still look dirty. then use the blue magic stuff with a micro fiber cloth and then i used plastic x with a buffer and a whool bonnet and after that i finished it off with the novas 3 stage system and used the buffer for that too goodluck, i can post up pics of how mine came out. also use the semi gloss black paint from dupli color 500 degree paint

^^ actually it looks pretty good that way i seen one. just paint the entire thing just dont make it all cheesy.

yea i think a light coat, just enough to cover it would look good.

will do. im working on getting the scratches out of the lens. do they look a little foggy before the polish?

ae13291

iTrader: (8)

yea after your down with the sanding its still gonna look bad, but the only way u know if u did a good job is if u pour running water on the lens and see if its as clear as u want it.

hlaalu

iTrader: (3)

ok i have a problem. they look clear under the water but now when they dry they are more foggy then ever. they are smooth, but foggy

ae13291

iTrader: (8)

that is fine man, thats how its supposed to be since there is microscopic scratches u need to remove with the polishing stuff, so ur on the right track

ae13291
