Buff out scuff on Headlight Housing
 
I was cleaning snow off my ES the other day and accidentally scratched the headlight housing with the plastic, ice scraper side of my snow brush. I posted a pic below of the minor damage, the scratch is in the center of the photo. Is this repairable, or did I learn a lesson the hard way?

Yes, Meguiars Headlights Restoration Kit will work great if you have a power drill, if not, then simply use Meguiars PlastX and a Plush Microfiber towel.


By the way, Never let a Snow Brush or Scraper ever touch your paint or body surface EVER. Only windows if you have to. The best method for removing snow of you paint with a brush, is to leave about 1 inch of snow between the brush and paint so you aren't touching your clearcoat directly.
