Headlight Restoration Instructions

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Headlight

Due to the action of weather elements, particularly sunlight, chemical agents from car washes, and the aging of the material, headlights tend to yellow and become cloudy: you can restore their brightness by performing a proper polishing. Start by protecting the surrounding areas with masking tape, then wet sand the headlight using very fine sandpaper (2000-3000 grit) until it becomes completely cloudy; at this point, perform an initial polish with abrasive paste and a wool pad, then finish with machine polish and the appropriate pad. The headlight will shine as if it were new.
