Yes sir. I just took a before and after shot.

they look good man
u should offer headlight restoration in ur area i always charge 50 a pair...good easy money

for the person that asked
u can start wetsanding with 2000 then polish it out with wat jgvtec said "ultimate compound"
followed by polish...ultimate polish,plastx,ect ect.
then wax

if ur headlights are really bad then start with 1000 grit sideways, then up n down with 2000 grit

dont use one of those cheap 30 dollar buffers they dont work!
much better to do by hand then with that, but its gonna take a while unless u have a dual action polisher or some sort of high speed buffer.

best thing to do is buy meguiars headlight restoration kit,comes with everything u need.

nice, I need to get my headlights wet sanded, after I fix bigger problems

 

[JGvtec]

Well since im doing so good with the DA (Dual Action) buffer later in the week im going to get a Rotary buffer from Harbor Freight I need to get familiarized with different machines.

I fully detailed my Euro last week minus the rims and interior and since then my vehicle been sitting under the car cover at my parents house.

Wash, fully dry, clay, polish, and wax and here is the aftermath sorry no before shot and using Iphone.

 

[JGvtec]

Nice guys! Thanks for the pictures! Keep them coming.

 

[JGvtec]

Just a tip for those who detail there cars.


If you are using wax you should look into getting a paint sealant instead. Car wax has a very low evaporating temp, while paint sealant has a very high temp. Once the wax has been on your car it should only take about 2 weeks for it to evaporate off because of the hot sun.
