Headlight Restoration
Well after having the full re spray last year I was always disappointed with the headlights looking dull & scratched so with a bit or online research & for me a lot of bottle I did this.
You need a drill with a polish rag.
Wet dry 1500 grit sandpaper ( Use soapy water to make the sandpaper wet & be brave it will make the headlight look all milky looking like in the photos.
Meguiars Plastx ( After the sanding you don't have to rub hard use the Plastx & polish with the drill then wipe off & use car polish & use the drill again you will need to repeat this process over & over again until the headlight is just like new then to finish just wax over the top, job done.
Any car polish
Any Car Wax
I took inspiration from this site

I did not know you could do this until recently but don't blame me if it goes wrong it worked for me so good luck.
