Part: Headlight

First, thoroughly clean the surface with a degreaser. Next, mask the surrounding area to avoid damaging the paint.
For this operation, use sandpaper attached to a drill, with three different grits ranging from 500 to 3000. Use the 3000 grit with water during the polishing process.
Once the sandpaper is attached to the drill, sand the surface evenly without applying excessive pressure.
Between sanding sessions, remember to clean the surface.
Finally, polish with a non-abrasive compound.
