Default eye can see clearly now!!!

well in keeping my streak of not being lazy and getting things done on da sc step by step, i got up early gave her a good bath and cleaned up the headlights finally, it didnt come out to bad for not having all the sand paper i needed some 600 would have got it great but the 1500 did pretty good.

Looks better. SC's always look a lot better with something as simple as a headlight cleaning..

That looks a lot better!

If you want to make it look even better, put some baby oil on it. It'll make them look brand new believe it or not.

I recommend getting the 3M headlight kit. It comes with this grey foam pad that does wonders for clarity. But yeeah, it looks real good! Keep the mods/maintenance coming!

Its always nice to have clean, clear headlights. I used a buffer with some rubbing compound, and polishing solution. LESS WORK, same results.

I had my buddy that does tint put a clear film on them so it wont oxizide again. Still Clean and Clear.

2000 grit is VERY fine. It'll work but you gotta go at it for days. Start with a lower grit like 600 then 1000 1500 then 2000 to finish it off.

Looks good i need to do mine again.

yep he is right if you can do 600 grit first wetsand of course finish up with 1500 then 2000 and a good compound to buff it out your headlights will look brand new and if you can get a thin layer of clearcoat on them they will stay fresh for a long time..
