How to restore the headlights of the Mitsubishi FTO

Video tutorial

The following video tutorial shows us how to restore the headlights of the Mitsubishi FTO. To perform this procedure, we need to cover the body using adhesive tape. We wet our headlight and start scraping the surface using 600-grit sandpaper.

Once the surface is cleaner, we clean the headlight, dry it, pour water over it, and start scraping the surface using 1000-grit sandpaper. We continue the procedure by moving from 1500-grit sandpaper to 2500-grit sandpaper.

Once the surface is finer and cleaner, we wet a microfiber cloth and clean the headlight. When the headlight is completely dry, we clean it with abrasive paste using another microfiber cloth.

At the end of the polishing, the headlight will be clean and shiny like new.
