Headlight & Tail light polish

Little project this afternoon giving life back to tarnished light lenses. Superfly, Kai and I

Mask & sand using 1500 grit/wet.




Whip & polish using Mothers Plastic polish





Far view comparison.



Close up comparison, right light after clean & polish.



Left side before clean and polish.



Brake light before clean an polish, this thing was nasty!



Sand (not shown) & polish





Final result

The new edge is looking good Luis. Headlights look like new now...Jeds got all the tricks maybe that's why his car always looks like a black mirror.

Looks good Luis!

I can't believe that 3rd brakelight cost over $300! Glad you were able to revive it.

Oops! I exaggerated


$150

Still, $7 for a bottle of Mother's polish or $150 for a new one?
