headlight restoration/refurb

[Firas]

looking to freshen up my xenon's at the moment and ive trie just using a machine poliher and srp and its not having any affect on the deeper scratches. ive heard people using various wet and dry sandpaper and then machine polishing them. does this method actually work and is there any risks?

SRP is a filler, With only very mild correction going on iirc.

Get some polish with a better cut.

I used sandpaper 2000 > 3000 >> polish: Poorboys 3.0 > 2.5 > Then finished off with Megs swirl remover.

Look 10x better, But some grit must of got under the sandpaper in some parts and need to be re-done

Blue silverline rotary polisher mate.

Machine polisher with Menz IP will do it. If they are really bad you can use something like 1500 or 2000 grit wet and dry paper.

yeh i think somescratches will only come out with sandpaper. do you sand thewhole headlight or just the deep scratches?
