How Do You Restore Scratched And Pitted Headlights?
There are numerous techniques that could be utilized to restore old plastic headlights to near-factory condition. The following technique has proven to be the most effective. The downside is that it requires patience and a little muscle. Step 1 Wash headlights thoroughly with soapy water. Work on one headlight at a time and be very thorough. Step 2 If your headlight is severely scratched, use 600 grit wet/dry sand paper. BE SURE to keep the headlight wet during the whole process, using the spray bottle. Sand the entire headlight, working on small area at the time. This will take a long time. After completion of this step, the headlight should be VERY foggy and contain no deep scratches or pits. Step 3 Repeat Step 2 with a 1000 grit sand paper. Once again, work on a small area at a time and keep the headlight wet. Upon completion, the headlight should look a little clearer. Step 4 Now repeat Step 3 with 2000 grit sand paper. After you are finished, the headlight should look much clearer
