How to restore a vehicle's headlight

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

Today we will explain how to restore the front headlight of a vehicle. To perform this operation, we need to place masking tape around the headlight, in order to avoid damaging the vehicle's bodywork during the procedure. Using 200 grit sandpaper, we smooth the entire headlight area, spraying water occasionally. We clean with a microfiber cloth and using 100 grit sandpaper we clean the area again. Once the job is done, we spray WD-40 to polish the headlight. We perform the same steps on the right front headlight. Using the same products, it is also possible to restore the rear lights.
