Today, you will learn how to independently restore the headlights of the Jaguar XK. To carry out the restoration work, you will need wet and dry sandpaper, model P1200, and polish model 09374 from 3M. Open the bonnet and cover the bodywork around the headlight with masking tape to avoid damage.

Soak the sandpaper in hot water, which you will use for the restoration work.
