Restoring the Clarity of Headlights

Model: Mercedes Classe E W211 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Headlight

One method to restore the shine of headlights dulled by time and weather conditions is to use very fine sandpaper. Surround the headlights with masking tape to avoid scratching the bodywork near the headlights during the process. Then, sand the headlights, trying to apply the same pressure everywhere and performing the operation uniformly. Once this operation is repeated on all affected surfaces, clean the headlights with a cleaner and a cloth to remove the sanded material. Once cleaned, you will notice that the headlights have regained their original clarity.
