Default Headlight refinish

Before


After sanding with 600, 2400, 3600,4000, and 6000 grit sandpaper with water and with some hand polishing with novas 2 plastic polish scratch remover.





Doesn't look too bad... Might try that UV sealer clear coat thing and see how it holds up. Could that spar polyurethane be purchase at Home Depot?

My headlight were extremely yellow. Couldn't really tell from the picture., but I'm going to try this other method and see how it works out.

There also another method which involves putting on spar polyurethane which is mix 1:1 with mineral spirits and applied with a clean rag onto the headlight. Basically applying a clear coat back onto the headlights. The polyurethane can be purchased from Home Depot I believe.
