Polishing Dull Front Headlamp

Model: Porsche Cayman 987 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Headlight

If the headlamps have become dull, you can restore their shine by performing adequate sanding and polishing. Apply masking tape around the headlamp to protect the bodywork from potential abrasions. Sand the headlamp lens with an orbital sander (to speed up the process, but hand sanding is also acceptable) using very fine sandpaper (2000 or 3000 grit) until the headlamp is uniformly dull (it is recommended to perform this operation wet, by spraying water on the headlamp).
Once sanding is complete, polish the headlamp with a soft pad and appropriate paste; repeat the operation if necessary.
