How to restore a vehicle's headlights

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

The headlights of a vehicle can be damaged due to various reasons such as poor maintenance, temperature fluctuations, exposure to UV rays, etc. And since the presence of opaque headlights does not allow the driver to have a clear vision of the road, today we will explain how to polish the headlights on your own. First, wash the headlights with water and soap, then degrease them, sprinkle water on the headlight and sand with an electric sander with a P600 grain. After the first sanding, move on to a second sanding with a P1200 grain, then P1500 and finally P2000. For the final phase, to remove any remaining imperfections, use a P2500 grain. Polish the headlights with a soft buffer polisher until you achieve the right clarity. Finally, to protect the achieved clarity, apply a protective film.
