aiight ive seen few topics on this...most are very broad and dont really tell much? here is my question...what should i use to do it? ive read novus plastic polish is good but i have read that wetsanding with 2000 grit or something then 3m rubbing compound works also?? if anyone has done this.....please tell me how u did it....i want to remove some scratches and rock chips (usual wear and tear) from my 94 accord's headlights....thanks :)

guess im going to have to make my own how to :) hehe

i sanded with 1500-2000 grit sandpaper and used 3m's perfect it 2 rubbing compound ...works pretty well.... not perfect but hella better than what i began with

You can use Meguiars number 9 to polish them out. After that get a set of headlight protectors from www.rockblocker.com. It will stop the lights from pitting and/or cracking. you will also see better because the lense is protected.

its the method im using right now....def looks alot better...i think im gonna try some form of plastic polish too see if i can get them realllllyy!!! shinny

If you are good with a buffer you could always polish them with that. Goes faster than your hand, right?

using that will make it like new.

I actually used a compound that polishes and cleans my fish tank! :) It's made for plastic and takes out scratches as well as buffs the little ones out.

wuts headlight polishing do? pics?

yeah has anyone actually posted b4 and after pictures? :confused:
