Video tutorial

Vehicle headlights can become damaged for various reasons such as poor maintenance, temperature fluctuations, UV exposure, etc. Since dull headlights do not allow the driver proper visibility of the road, today you will learn how to polish the headlights yourself.

First, wash the headlights with soap and water, then degrease them, sprinkle the headlight with water, and sand with a P600 grit electric sander.

After the first sanding, move on to a second with P1200 grit, then P1500, and finally P2000. For the final phase, to remove all lumps, use P2500 grit. Polish the headlights with a soft buffing pad until the desired shine is achieved.

Finally, to protect the shine obtained, apply a film.
