Default Headlights

Its my first attempt at polishing headlights. It came out ok, much better than what it was. Took about 20 mins, I used a porta cable. There is a little jaguar in the center of the headlight, at first I thought it was a scratch until it started to come through after buffing.

mrtalkradio what was your process? Did you sand and buff or just buff with the PC? What product and pad combo did you use?

They came back about 50%.... If you would like some simple suggestions to make them even clearer, just ask and I can help you out..

I bet even this quick little fix sure improved your night time driving visuals....

You know, after I had posted my thread I had scrolled down to read some more and saw your thread and pictures on headlight restoration. I felt like an idiot after I saw that. Your work is perfection, mine was a quick cleanup. And yes after seeing your work I would say mine are at 50%.
I used a plastic cleaner and elbow grease. I will attempt your process to get them even clearer.
