Headlight Chrome
I want to refinish the headlights on my 2007 GS with a 3M kit. Seems like it would be safer and easier if I could remove the chrome trim around the lens. Can this be done?

I thought he was just talking about using one of those puffy *****. I finished all my lights recently and I only had to use sandpaper on a couple trouble areas. I just wet sanded carefully by hand.

I wouldn't recommend you sand your headlights without adding a 2k clearcoat on top.
These 3m headlight polishing kits will only destroy the headlights after a few months. If you sand your headlights you sand off the clear coat.
Try using a mild polishing compound and putting after a long lasting sealer.
If the head lights are completely foggy then take them to a body shop have them sand and clear coat them for you. Theyll look like brand new if done correctly and will last a long time.
