nice so far. headlights look new again

oh yea....headlights came out better than new....they are prestine! I went all the way from 500 - 3000 . I started wet sanding around 1000. It just takes time.......not hard at all...nothing. Just spend the time to tape off the area around the lights and go hard.

Cool. Did you buff it afterwards with a buffer, then polish? Or did you not have to use a buffer?

-Thanks

You should add painting the bottom lip on your grill to the list. Looks like your on a good roll to getting your list done.

Starting over....sanding everything down now, cleaning real good, and then spraying them again. Will post pics when complete.....probably tomorrow.

I think I am going to add something to the list...... replace driver side door actuator....

 
Rep Power: 214

What kind of attachment is it? Like is it wool?

-Thanks

 
Rep Power: 296

a small version of a buffer, just a disc that held sandpaper and buffing pads.....

 
Rep Power: 214

Tried looking everywhere, couldn't find one.

you buy the headlgiht restore kit they have a cheap version of what I am talking about. Those kits are like 20 bucks.....its basically exactly what I did....differant grits of sandpaper and some compound to polish....
